nightster tank on my 48 ?
I am tired of constantly stopping for fuel
on every road trip, plus, it pisses off the
people I ride with.
My question is, will a nightster tank bolt
on without a bunch of bullshit modifications,
will my fuel pump work it the nightster tank,
and what is the fuel capacity ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

I've been thinking about this too. I've seen guys do a tank lift and relocate of the key fob, etc. this leaves a huge space above the front cylinder. Would be really nice if a company made a smaller/sister tank to go down there.. mm... has this been done?
i just like the stock 48 tank look and dont want to swap it. :/

Just put the 4.5 Gallon tank on yours it will give you the range you want.
J&P Cycles sells em, Completely bolt on and the fuel pump would be a direct swap.

Get the 4.5 gallon tank and just switch it off and on when you go on a long road trip. Tanks are extremely easy to swap. I take my tank off whenever I do any work that may cause me to hit it with a wrench.
4.5 gallon tank should get you nearly 200 miles before neeing a fill.

Hell yeah - install a 4.5 tank if you want an ugly looking 48.
Or - install the 3.3 because you bought the wrong bike.
I'm pro peanut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.3 gallon is about as big as I'd wanna put on my 48. In my opinion, the few of them I've seen on here with the Iron & Nightster tanks look damn good.
