With the reduced fuel capacity in a Sporty tank, I'd think you'd be looking at stopping for gas a whole lot. Secondly, the SG has a wider tank and the Sporty tank might look a little too skinny where the stock tank came off. Could be a different look though.

Glide depending on what SportSter tank dizzy wants,
the new ones hold 4.5 gallons.

I don't know what kind of machine diz wants to mount it on,
but I will say this.

If it's a fuel injected model, be ready for some serious
fabricating, welding, wiring, and on and on.

I researched a similar scenario a few months back.
I was wanting to get a stock 06 up SuperGlide tank
and slice it longitudinally, removing 2-3 inches

For looks as an around town hopper
I think it would be great on the mudSickle.

You can swap tanks back and forth
in a matter of an hour or so.

But, the fuel pump is a serious problem,
unless there is an aftermarket alternative,
and now we are talkin more bux than I care
about narrowing a tank.

SportSter pump in the sporty tank, yeah.......
but, it don't pump enough for the big motor.

And on and on.......

If ya do itdiz, I definately would like some pointers.
