I found this one:
http://www.jpcycles.com/product/720-364
Or this one:

The only difference would be a single cap or a double cap.

Yep, just keep in mind your gonna have to use tank prep and sealer. Then have it painted all for .6 gallons more. You'll probably be looking at 20 more miles to a tank and $600 or more out of pocket for everything and hope the paint matches. I really wish Harley could come out with a 4.5 gallon tank for pre-2004 bikes cause I would buy one in a second.
You could take one & make what you want.
Here's one I'm doing from a Night Train tank
before
after
I estimate it to ba a hair over 4 gallons
This one is from a Heritage
before
After
That one is a little smaller. Guessing a little over 3 gal.
Here's a stock one, one narrowed 4" and one narrowed 5.5".
This is the piece I cut out of the middle of the Heritage tank & I'll be making another tank from it.
It could be any shape or size but I'm just going to plate the sides & rock it skinny on my drop seat.

mreed, you have all the fab. skills I one day hope to have. Your type of person is a dying breed in today's computerized and "why make it when I can buy it" society. Keep it strong, and know that there are guys like me who still appreciate hard work and a creative edge out there.

Look up Kcint on ebay. KC International. They have a link to their website and I got a tank for my 02, I believe it was 3.8gal with a center cap it is kind of like a rounded peanut tank and a bit wider too with a flush pop-up cap. There is a coil and ignition switch relocation kit that you need to get for it too. Good prices, exelent customer service. I dealt with them directly rather than through ebay. They carry a lot of stuff.

I believe J/P cycles also sells a kit for the pre '04 Sportsters that lets you put the flat side tanks off of a big twin on it. I'm not a big fan of that look but some people like it.
