I think dhc8guru summed it up perfectly the peanut is classic sporty but more range would be nice.

There are some really nice sportsters on the forum, lowlifes, OFGs and xxflhrci to call a few names. But to me, Territory's is the nicest of all

I'm surprised Harley Davidson never came out with a 4.5 gallon peanut tank. Make it the EXACT same dimensions as the 3.3 gal peanut tank but just make it a few inches wider. A profile look at the cycle would make it look like the classic peanut tank and a top view would make it look like a wide peanut tank shape.
