I did that swap, its a direct swap. The fuel pump will fit, I noticed I just needed to go slow and finangle it in, but it all fit.

I've done the same swap with my 2007 Sporty. The pump has to be at the correct angle and in the correct position to come out or go it

Dont know why, but I used the same pump out of my oem 3.3 tank in a 2.1 and 4.5 gallon tank. The pjmp would slide right into the 3.3 and 2.1, but I had to really get the angle perfect to fit the 4.5, but it does fit.

Hey there, slightly off the original topic, but I was wondering if you (anyone) still had the 3.3gal tank that they'd be willing to sell? I have a 2018 48 that I'd love to upgrade the tank on. Thanks and seeing pics of yalls sportsters with the tank upgrades would be sweet!
