Default Need tank advice

Oops, posted this twice by accident. Can I delete it? If so, How?

Just picked up a nice '89 883 Hugger. I searched but did not find an answer about which Harley tank (3.3 Gallon) might be a bolt on for my '89. Was a 3.3 used on a lot of models? Does it have the petcock on the right side like my peanut tank?

Answers appreciated.

Pretty sure there's a 4.2 model available for that year so one would assume there's a 3.3. Check j&p cycles and search for your year.
