Default Gas tank

Hi Everybody,

Quick question. I have about 30 miles, both ways, daily commute to work everyday. It gets old quick going to the gas station twice a week. I was wondering about switching to a larger tank. I know there are a few options out there, but is there a tank that I can get without doing too much mods on the bike? I like the way it look now. I just need a larger tank. Any suggestion?

Thanks
DN

Sorry about that, I thought you guys can read mind.
I got a 96 1200 Custom. Right now it has a 3.3 gal tank.

I put a fat bob tank on an '01 Sportster and it gave about 4 gallons of capacity. The largest expense was repainting the tins. The tank buttoned up pretty easily.

The tanks on the 1200 Customs are now 4.5 gallons. I imagine they would bolt up pretty easily.
