Default 88 FLHT Fuel Tank Replacement

Ok I am looking at a changing my 88 FLHT fule tank to a 89 or newer tank. I want to change the tank as i have updated the bike with alot of newer parts as the older parts were getting a bit raggedy.
So i was looking for a new tank and a nice blank centre dash but every thing i have looked at starts at 89.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
My tank has the big cheese wedge tank dash built into the tank but the newer models have the two peice tanks (1)tank (2)Dash.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
before i go out and buy a tank does any one know why the 89 - 96 tank will not fit on the 88 version?
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
If it will not fit as standard. is there much modification to the tanks / seat /frame ?
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
thanks
