It's only metal, anything can be made to fit. I think JP cycles had a kit that would allow the 5 gallon flat side tanks to be mounted to a Sportster, also seen plenty of bigger tanks on E-Bay for about 2 bills.

I got my Porkster tank off of Craigslisst. It holds 4 Gal. and was made for an earlier bike. So had to make a lift for the front end of the tank.
