Default Gas Tank Swapp ????

Has anyone put a wideglyde, or fatbob tank on a superglyde yet? I have an 06 and despratly want to get rid of that tank, I love the classic harley look with the consol. I junked the speedo and old bars long ago and now want to upgrade my tank and wheels. Any thoughts?

Yes. I did it. ALong with a bunch of others on here. It's not easy but not hard either. You have to be comfortable with cutting and splicing wires from your main harness. It's not cheap. I probably have about $1K in converting the tank.

I wish I had a detailed discription of how I did it. And took pictures of the process. I've had 1,000 PM's asking me how to do it. All I can say is it was trial and error for me and I don't have a 1-10 step by step on how to tell someone else. Took me about 4 months of ordering ****, collecting part numbers, etc.

Someone else on here might be more helpfull on the actual process and might have recorded all their part numbers and documented a formal how to.

keep the current tank. Then get a dakota digital 2 1/16" speedo and install in the fuel gauge location. I think the fxd tank is awesome. love the aircraft gas cap. The gas cap has the added benefit of it being almost impossible to spill gas all over the tank.
