All you really need to be concerned with is the mount, if it works now it will work with whatever tank you bolt on, so long as it will mount in the console. If your console will mount to the new tank you will be fine. Or if a newer WG console will work, it's all good. You aren't changing the wiring or signal going to the speedo.

 

Get the WG tank. Save your stock tank. Fit the WG tank. Ride with it a bit. If you don't like it for whatever reason, reinstall your stock setup. Nothing lost but a few hours of your time. I'm sure you could easily sell either setup.

 

Reserve should be 1.1 gallons.

 

2010, listed as a 4.7 gallon tank, I have never pumped in 4 gallon.

 

The older tanks are bigger on the WG.

 

Also consider the cost of painting the tank, if that is needed. That alone could cost you another $500.

I live in the Northwest where we have lots of open areas and sometimes 50 or more miles between gas stations. I just mount up my saddlebags and carry a Reda saddle bag gas can for my adventures out of town.

On the other hand, I hate gassing up, so having another gallon of gas in the tank is a big plus.

 

With this aftermarket tank on the old Pan I was looking for gas ever 100 miles.
With my 3.5 gallon on my old Evo Heritage I was looking for a station at 125-140 miles.
With my 6 gallon tank on my FLHTK. I've gone 240 miles on a tank.

 

Thanks again for all the input. As far as paint goes, I'm an "OK" painter and have plenty of material left over from when I painetd it last time. So though it will cost some money, not too much.

Vic, I would for sure keep my tank for at least some time till I made sure I was happy. Then I would probably dump it on ebay. JamesRoadKing, if I could figure out how to get a King Sporty tank on that ugly a$$ Dyna Frame I would probablly have done it and suffered the fuel loss. Springers and Sporty tanks are a true thing of beauty. But since that ain't happening, I'm thinking bigger is better.
