I'm gonna go out on a limb, but I believe this is correct. All fuel injected tanks 2000 & up and I believe all carb tanks from 04 & up, with a fitting adapter or something like that. You could probably look up individual painted parts in the catalog and get fitment years. The fenders from 2000 & up have been the same, excuding the extra wide rear fenders on the SE. I hope this helps. Why are you asking if you don't mind?

Good move. I bought a tank and fenders off ebay for my '02 Fat Boy and had that stuff painted while I kept my stock stuff on the bike so as not to lose any riding time. I wound up only having about $350 tied up for a whole paint set.

I like my Fat Boy. But I really couldn't help you. I bought mine with a custom paint on it. I got my granddaughter on it she loves the bikes. She will not get on one that is running.[sm=noooo.gif]

I've also surfed ebay a bunch at times thinking about doing the same thing.. vivid black on mine now.

If I had to do it, I'd like just plain ole silver/gray.. Like the original 90.. without the pinstripes.
To me, that looks the coolest.. real fatboy / military style .. to me anyway.

The bike always struck me to be styled after a military concept with the solid 'steamroller' wheels and the original gray to me looks the best with the cast wheels, without having to chrome out the wheels and front end.

So I've got an 04 carb model.. I've also wanted to know the part numbers.. The svc guy once told me it's easier to do newer sheet metal on an older bike than vice versa, as a general rule.

Take your time and shop around. I didn't buy everything as a set. Got a tank and one fender from Ohio on two separate auctions and the other fender came from Florida. All different colors, but who cares when you're going with custom paint anyway? Total price was $350. Try to buy an entire set at one time and you'll be paying much more.
