Default Just installed the 3.3 on my forty eight

Been considering this for a while. Really hate having to fill up every time i take her out, sometimes twice, but i loved the lines of the bike with the 2.1. Last week i saw the 3.3 on ebay for $200 so i jumped on it.

I gotta say i am 100% happy with the decision, i love the way she looks with this tank. You wouldn't confuse it for a nightster at all which was one of my concerns.

Very cool. Nope, no confusing that with a Nightster.


Got a customer across the pond that I am working with doing the same thing.

Don't like it at all, why even buy a 48 if you didn't like the tank size. People who do these conversions baffle me in their thinking sometimes but its your bike and that's just my opinion.

The bike is almost exactly the way i want it now. It was cheaper this way than to get a nightster and swap to a 48 front end, fat tire, forward controls, low slung speedo etc. No regrets!
