Default Nightster tank on streetbob?

I know this is a stupid question but has anyone tried to put a nightser tank on a streetbob? I know the nightster has efi so if I found one with the fuel pump in it do you think it would Work?

I believe there's something called a "king sportster" tank, which is going to offer a higher fuel capacity, but I don't know how much exactly. Definitely a mod I am going to look into.

Would have a cool home made look of the sixties
Major drawback the cruising range of a two gallon tank, but you already know that.

IMHO.....dont do it....I think it looks like crap....the square back bone of the Dyna frame does not lend itself to a small tank. Visually the exposed frame area just doesnt flow with the rest of the bike.....check out the Street Bob build in this month's American Iron magazine to see what Im talking about.....It might look cool to some people.....just not me...

I will have to do some measuring because I wouldn't want it to be too short.
