Goofed!
I’m looking for some help. I have a 2006 Deuce injected and bought a set of tins, but the tins are for a carbureted model. I know, I know….I did ask some questions and was told that ’06 modes would interchange. Wrong! The tanks are identical except for where the float rheostat housing clips into a metal “L” shaped bracket that’s spot welded to the center right of the inside of the tank. On the injected tank the brkt is spot welded but on the other the “holes” have been soldered closed. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anyone with any experience with this.

I did not have any experience with this. I have an 06 carbureted model and bought tins from a fuel injected bike. They swaped ove with no problems. All the holes had plugs that went with them that could be removed to allow fitment to either carb or fuel injected bke. Did yu by the bike from the dealer or someplace else that may have soldered the holes closed?

Bought bike from Dealer, but bought a set of tins off Ebay for an FXSTD thinking they would work. Has anyone had any luck welding the described missing brkt in, or what about just running withouta float assy?If I did that not quite sure what to do with the wiring, or how far back to remove.

RE: Goofed!
Thanks all. I went to a local shop that does a little custom work and had the paticular brkt removed and tacked into place on the new set. The set I purchased it was obvious that the brkt had been removed and the holes filled a little. Just a real hassle when not expecting it. Anyway the set is on. Thanks again.
