You want an even larger tank than the custom has? Isn't the 1200C tank already a 4.3 gallon tank?

2003 and older customs have 3.3 gallon tanks. I have been thinking of a way to hold more fuel myself. I think a 2004 and newer custom 4.5 gallon tank would be a good fit. I just need to $$$ to get one and try it.

A 2004 and up tank won't fit a 2000.At least not without some modification.
What's inexpensive?I just bought a new stretched 4 gallon&nbsp\\;tank for $380.Lining the inside cost me $80.Paint is going to cost $1000 for
the tank and two fenders.New fuel valve was $104.I'm almost up to $2000!&nbsp\\; OUCH!!
