FYI--I friend told me you will also need a different seat or have yours cut back to make room for the larger tank.

Yea jp seems like the best place so far, I'm having a hard time finding an efi tank on ebay that is in good condition. The one at jp is 4.5 gallon, good price at $257, plus I get to do my own paint.
