J&P has one listed that accepts the stock Fuel Pump unit.

He obviously likes the look of the peanut tank but doesn't like going to the gas pump so often. But in my opinion if you had a "blown-up" version of the peanut it would cease to look like the peanut therefore defeating the purpose. Seems to me he might also find it would create a top-heavy feel being larger and higher off the frame raising the center of gravity - just sayin'.

I'll reserve actual judgment till I have the sucker in my hand, but thats actually more capacity than the 4.09 gallons my Low Rider is rated at. Hell, if its "all that", I'll order one up for my bike. I can't believe it would be too tough to make one fit a Dyna frame. Very similar backbones.... I think?

It looks quite similar to my 2008, 1200 XLC 105th stock 4.5 gal tank. It will go for a while but I would look for a bigger unit if I could find such a beast. IMO the peanut style goes well with the bike, wider and taller would help the look on my 105th as I have it setup.
I considered raising the tank for a better look.
I do wish it had the center console as the larger bikes do but accept that cost is a factor in all of this.
Good luck with the build & post pics.
PS: Love the springer front end on the pictured bike!

Listen to what Jack Nicholson said about the NWO, freedom & world government in EASY RIDER you simply wont believe it, they added the nut case stuff to discredit the statements, but its all there.

I am no Sporty expert by a long shot but it "looks" more peanutty than the stock custom tank. I'll post some pics when I paint it.
Thanks David!
