Question Determining tank size

Hey guys,

I have my 05 1200 custom apart for paint, so unfortunately I can't see how much my tank holds. Are there measurements out there to determine whether I have the 3.3 or 4.5 gallon tank? I am assuming I have the larger one, but I would like to be sure as I am looking at purchasing a new seat and don't want to end up buying the incorrect one.

Thanks!

An 05 Custom came with a 4.5 gallon tank.

This is 4.5





This is 3.3
