I passed by a junk pile at the curb of my neighborhood and spotted these. some surface rust but they were in kitchen garbage bags laying in a garage for some time. It looks like they could be 61-62 pan head tanks. I have an 87 heritage with big dent in the tank, wondering if these would fit.

 

Is the 87 a 1 piece tank? If yes you dont have the inside rear tfame tabs to mount the old style spit tanks. Also I think your 87 may have the large rectangular top frame rail where these are made for the old 4spd frame with the round tube top rail

 

Ill check

 

Mounts a re different on your split heritage tanks

 

Been through this in the other thread you have with these tanks, they are not pan head. Pan tanks have a very different petcock arrangement, **** on top of the tank and the outlet is forward. Those are cheap aftermarket reproductions, inside seam is probably cracked and why they were out with the trash. And they won't fit an 87, mounting is completely different, 87 has flat inside rubber mount tanks.

 

I checked them this weekend and they are stick on emblems. So I just need to figure out what years these will fit.

 

also the gas cap bung is flush not sticking up

 

Damn. I wish I had neighbors like that.

 

Fit any 4 speed frame with the stock factory tank mounts. All shovel heads except FXR or FLT, most all aftermarket frames for pans or shovels. Those tanks new went $90-$150 at swap meets & big box chopper parts places from the 70's on.
