Well, I know that roland sands design (RSD) makes a FI peanut tank for softtails... but then again what can't you get for softails?![EEK!](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
I'm sure that you would need to weld new brackets onto the tank to make it fit, but I'm not sure if the dyna and sportster share the same fuel pump and internal mounts. Anyone who has taken the guts out of a FI tank knows what I'm talking about.
Also, I would lose my fuel guage... but who needs it! Then again, I wont have a reserve either. I just think it would look slick and very different. I don't like the way the "remove fender struts and mount fender to swingarm" mod looks with the fat dyna tank.
Mud, how did you go about fabbing your own tank??? Where are you Mud?!!?

ORIGINAL: devils haircut
Can a fuel injected sportster peanut tank be made to work on a dyna without serious modding?

No.
I am currently narrowing a stock 06 SuperGlide tank by 2 1/2"
to get a narrow Sporty "style".
The Sporty tank tunnel is to narrow.
The fuel pump will not deliver an adequate "flow rate".
Capacity would probably be adequate.
To quote you -
"Serious modding" is a relative term.
Yeah, and in this case, it is a veryclose relative.
Like kissin cousins close.

dont mean to hijack, but man i am thinkin this very thing - and not opposed to serious mods to adapt the tank - dont wanna mod the frame
i love the look of the sporty tank - no clue how they get the fi parts in there, assuming a hatch kinda like the roland sand - right?
any one know about the FI part question that devils haircut had? Meaning can I throw the dyna fuel pump and guts into the sorty tank.
Thanks

Wow, I forgot all about this old thread!

That is a possibility that would probably make the swap a little easier.
