Default Changing gas tank
I am going to switch out my gas tank tomorrow on my 07 FLHT.
It looks pretty simple after reading the service manual. Anything to watch out for or any tips?

That is a nice setup. Wish I would have seen that beforeI had purchased the Harley setup which I understand may or may not work. I'll keep some spare 5/16 hose and clamps in case it doesn't.
