Default 4.5 gal Replacement Tank

Has anyone replaced their EFI 3.3 gallon tanks with this 4.5 from JP CYCLES

http://www.jpcycles.com/product/721-159

I would like to get feedback and more importantly see some pics of all painted and on the bike ?

Looking to replace the tank this off season and would like to see it on a bike '

Thanks !!!!!

id say 4/5 is not bad reviews :/, especially considering that most people that have no issues at all do not go back and post a review. For the most part, its people with issues that post reviews.

+1 - It's a raw metal tank. You have to expect that it will need to be cleaned and sealed.

Why not see if you can find someone with a custom looking to swap to a peanut?

I assume you'll likely need to change your seat too.

I would probably be willing to trade my 4.5 gal tank for a 3.3. I'm up in Boston though.

I've been thinking about making the same mod too, but I'm concerned about getting a matching paint job. Maybe (for me) the better strategy would be to get the fenders to match the new tank instead of vice versa.
