If you want a bit more range but still like the look of the 48, why not get a Iron tank? still looks very good

The tank looks better on your bike than it does on mine--and mine is the one it is supposed to be on!

I'm thinking you did a fine job the tank with those bars makes it look sweet.

Did not have to extend any lines. I used existing. Just cut my over flow hose down to fit. I am liking the increased range. Although it no longer looks like a 48. I am thinking of buying a Fuel pump assembly and putting it in my peanut tank so I can interchange them on the fly.
Hardest part of doing the tank swap was de installing the fuel pump.. It's a tight fit. just have to take your time moving it around.
I envy you.
I wish I could convince myself to do the same ($$$). Big tank for long trips, peanut for local ride.
