Default How does this work?

I am buying a new frame for a custom build and the frame manufacturer says that it accepts softail stock tanks. I already have a set of flat side tanks from a softail and the frame mounts look totally different. My question is is there a piece that I am missing or what type of tanks do these frame mounts accept on this frame?

Ask the builder what year(s) tanks fit on this frame. Yours look like older Evo tanks? Maybe it fits the tanks from the newer bikes?

It should come with another piece. That deal sticking up in the middle mounts the tanks & consol.

I Sorry BUT....IMO... ANY questions U have about what will work and what don't work with Ur custom frame.. And Needs to be Addressed to them

I'd almost bet than theirs not 10 others out of the other 200,000 members in here that has bought the same Frame U have.

So Asking this ?? is IMO above and beyond what most do in here....


But still I hope U get a answer that answers U ??'s

To mount those tanks on that frame you need a "Flatside tank mounting kit"

I understand what you are saying as this is not really a custom forum and that is what I like about it for my stock bikes. But as far as that frame it is a stock replacement frame for oem components.....so it would use direct replacement parts and mounts. And you guys came through and answered it so Thanks
