Get the Mustang solo seat. Comfy and holds the rear in place

 

When I bought my 48 I was riding a Road King which I still have No thoughts about comfort or fuel capacity or storage. My riding has changed I really enjoy the 48. I did make some comfort changes installed a set of Street Glide Air Shocks and a Spring Solo seat. Those two items made a tremendous difference The seat give me much more travel to absorb bumps and the shocks smooth out the rear I have a set of Progressive springs and different oil for the Forks left to install.
At first I was nervous about running out of fuel I bought a 883 3.3 gal tank as well as a fuel pump to make the change easier for trips. Thanks for that idea Wachuko. I also bought a spare fuel canister to carry on my swing arm bag.
I never installed the Tank or even carry the spare canister. I just adapted my stops and fill up procedure.
In fact I am selling my Road King since I just do not use it. The 48 is so much more usable and fun for me.

I have my 2012 iron883 tank still as I did a custom tank on the iron when i had it but I see you stated fuel pump why would there be a need for an different fuel pump than just using the one off the 48? I see videos of people just ussing the same internal of the 48 tank onto the 3.3 and even the 4.5 tanks people been using.

Is there info that I am not aware of on that part as I was going to up the tank to the 883 one in the near future. I dont mind filling up as well more often as I plan for only pleasure rides and where I live gas stations are always close plus like you said invest in the solo back with the tank can which I have already.

So now you got my brain all worked up trying to understand the fuel pump seems odd to have to get another one unless its the mechanics of it or something?

 

He explained it "to make it easier for trips" He likes the looks of the smaller tank so switches it over for trips. If each has its own fuel pump then the swap would take less than 10 minutes.

 

Oh ok phew had me worried their for a minute.

 

I am thinking about getting a 48 and would like to know more about these extra fuel canisters and how you carry them. Who sells them? Thx.

 

Google this and you will see it

As Rog48 said it just makes it quicker to change when I wanted to for a road trip. When I bought my tank the price was right for the 2nd fuel pump. Although removing the pump is easy but I would not want to do it on a regular basis, chance for leaks etc.
I have not switched yet and I don't think I will since I adjusted my riding habits. Simply a solution for a problem that never materialized. The fuel canister is for emergency use to make me feel secure, I have not carried it much and never needed it.
The Shocks and seat made a major difference.
