Default Quick (and possibly stupid) question.

I've been thinking about getting another set of metal for my bike and having it painted. I know the 2007-08 bikes are EFI but do I have to get an 07-08 fuel tank or would I be able to get any tank and swap my parts over?

Not sure, but I think the newer 07's and 08's use a different seat than the 2004 - 2006 models...

Not sure if that is because of slight change in mounting points on the frame, or if it's because of a slight change in the tank dimensions...

Might give your harley dealer a call and see if the tanks are interchangeable...

I dont know about the N, but a guy with an 07 Csaid the 04-06 seats dont work, andI found a reference why is that there is some type of extra electronic module under the seat, I assume it is the EFI module. ??
