VZ i share you sentiment about buyi.g from harley. i scoured the internet ebay etc for a good ptice and i found this tank.no noticeable imperfections on this tank for the money i paid.
I wish I could convince myself to do the same ($$$). Big tank for long trips, peanut for local ride.

I know this has been posted a bunch of times. just want to post a pic of my bike with the 4.5 X1200C tank.I bought it off Ebay for 250 American.
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.
