Yeah, I may try to swap in a 48 front end on my Iron later on, I do love the look of that front tire!

Agreed. I like the fat front end of the 48, but not the limited range of the small tank.

You going to do a coil/ignition relocation?

That's like saying your bike looks like a Sportster with a Softail tank. lol.

It's a Sportster. They all look the same. I like the small tank but don't like stopping so much.

Yours looks good with the bigger tank.

I think your bike looks awesome with that tank. I have a 48 and am considering doing the same. I would just have 2 tanks. One for longer trips and one for around town. IMO it's a pretty easy swap

Yeah buddy! Looks real nice man. I have yet to see a bigger tank on a 48. Looks good. I mean, obviously the smaller tank looks better, but its all about form over function, right? Looks good man.

Thanks all for the comments and opinions! The differing opinions is actually one of the things i love about the sportster, it shows how many different directions you can go.

It is on the to do list but closer to the bottom. Next up is the power commander and dyno tune.
