THE 2007 HD Sporster custom replace the oil tank had to remove fender was pretty easy after all. I have an oil leak I thaught was a tank but now I don't know the same problem.I think now it might be vent pressure.

I know it's been a while Tcci42, but did you ever solve your problem with the oil leak? I have a 2006 HD Sportster 883C that was leaking oil. I just tore down bike and tank actually looks good unless it's the seams of tank...tough to tell and can't really test tank under pressure. Wonder if you ever solved your problem?
Thanks, Bubs
