Default Gas tank swap and fender question

I did the search function, but no results showed up for my question.

Can a efi tank from a fat bob be swapped onto a 09 Street Bob? I'd like to get a little bit bigger tank for those long road trips.

Also, has anyone changed the rear fender on the Street Bob to have a better tail light besides the sparto tail light?

Thanks.

Do you really want to go through all that work for 2/10s of a gallon. That will only get you like 10 more miles.

yeah that's what I was thinking... see the fatbob tank has a different dash, speedo, backing plate and possibly indicator assembly. you can use your own internals. so you get an extra 10 miles or less... Don't bother.
on your fender, remove tail light. have holes filled and repaint.... get run brake turn module for signals.... now your setup and don't need no stinkin center taillight.

A friend of mine thought the fat bob had a 6 gal tank. Is there a dyna tank that is 6 gal that will fit on a SB?

What tail light is the most common to retrofit on the back fender of a SB?

The dresser are the only bike with 6 gal, but I doubt there is anything that will work without looking funky!! Shoot, how far do you want to go on a tank?? IMO 150-200 miles per tank is perfect. Times just right to go pee, stretch and get something to drink. Most people stop within 100-200 miles in a car anyways, what is an added 2 min fill up when riding?

What are you wanting to do with your tail light? I don't understand what you want. What's wrong with the sparto?

Well I can see that the gas tank mod is out of the question....haha

I was just used to my old Kawi Concours with a 7.5 gal tank.

For a tail light I'd just like to have it be a little bit bigger and brighter as in a LED setup. I already have a Kuryakyn load equalizer for when I put in the LED bulbs for my turn signals and tail light, but I thought it'd be cool to have a custom tail light to be different.

Look at tweakin's bike. He removed it and runs the load equalizer with led's in the turn sigs. I followed him last summer for a while during a nice sunny day and they were bright as heck. I know you said bigger and brighter, but if you're going to do that you may want to swap out for a full fender for the bigger tail light with the kury led kit. Otherwise I think it would look funky putting a bigger tail light on the 09 and up SB fender.
