Can you mount it? or Can you just bolt it on? Two seriously different questions. The tank will not just fall on your frame and bolt up, as stated above, you have to consider where your speedo / console is going to go, you will need to either modify the new tank with a bolt mount and then modify the profile of the console or you would need to handlebar mount the speedo, or just do without but then there is the question of the other indicators and ignition switch. It can be done, hell with a little work, anything can be done.

Looked both tanks up on one of those online parts list ...

The left tank is the 2007 fatboy and the right one is the 2010 street glide.

Looks like they bolt on to the frame differently!

Might work with some fabrication. Interesting project!

I think it would be too involved to be worth it. Too many different factors to consider. Not like the old days when you could put a Sporty tank on an FLH in an hour.
