Default Chrome Old School Oil Tank??

So I am wanting to put an Oil tank like this,

http://www.steelthundercc.com/oiltanks.html

on the sled, but cant seem to find any for my year of softail (2002 FXST). I saw a thread a while back of someone putting one similar on a fatboy (I think)

Has anyone done this mod, if so, what brand did you use, and was it bolt on or were there any extra mods you had to go through to get it to work? If anyone has pics thats eve MO-BETTA!!!

Thanks

Everything I have found is for 1984-1999 as well. I am not sure what is different,but i would guess the way it mounts. I'd love to have one of those on my 2002 as well.

Yeah, you are far from the first to ask me for an oil tank like that. The fatbook has nothing in it for anything newer than 1999.

What would be the difference in oil tanks between the 88 and 96? After replacing the cams and doing a 107 the oil tank is next on my to do list.
