RWD Stretched Fuel Tank
Guys, I have found with a complete teardown,rebuild, hot rodding a FLH there is NO where to stop!!! Do any of you guys have any experience with RWD stretched tanks. Do they fit good, does the injection pump fit without mods, What did you do for your seat, did you use the RWD or did you modify one to fit? Thanks in advance, I will have a nice bike but a simple tear down to clean-up & paint has turned into a major deal. Gary

I have one on my 2001 FLHT (carb); fits great. Bought two seats to match (solo and two-up), Saddlemen makes them, and had the OEM seat cut to fit and re-upholstered with stingray. Get a lot of attention when parked anywhere.

I looked at their tanks when I did my scoot.
Couldn't justify buying the RWD tank for almost $1400 when I stretched my stock for under $100.
Lotta money to pay for 1 extra gallon of fuel.

the RWD tanks are a very nice piece, great quality and nice welds. The dash looks reat also. The pump fits with no problems, but they will mess with your fuel gauge and warning lights. But they really make a bike look good.

I thought about the RWD and other stretched tanks because my bike is apart for paint, also. But, as badpiggy mentioned, that's a lot of $$$ and haven't been able to wrap my mind around the expenditure, despite the significant custom/cool change they make. I considered the weld on stretch kits, but didn't want to get into cleaning and recoating the interior of the gas tank. Besides, the weld on kits don't really change the profile of the tank.
Guess I'll make sure I have extra paint and address the stretched tank, console, and seat as a separate project in the future.
Good luck with your project.
