So I am in the beginning stages of working on a paint job for the bike (2011 Sportie 48). I have been going back and forth with the idea of just painting the original parts over; but decided that it would be better to just buy a new tank and save the original parts. I have been having trouble finding new gas tanks, like OEM replacements for the EFI. Does anyone know where I can find one?? Thanks!!

 

Methinks places like jpcycles.com have them.

 

Best place I have seen is eBay. You just have to be patient and find one that's the right price and condition. Check there once a week.

 

I have the same question for a 2007 XL1200C. I have found paint sets that do it, but they are already painted and expensive. so I ask.. where do THEY get them from. They must either buy em new from Harley, or await a local parts shop to have the specific model available. I want the front and rear fenders too, in order to complete the bike and change the theme completely. I like my stock pinstripes, but I am looking for the parts to paint wile I continue to ride and I will install when my paint job is done. of course starting another paint job on the stocks that were removed.

otherwise..... have you checked JPcycles? I have not, cause I am looking for the set.

 

The only tank that I see on there is from RSD and they want a ridiculous price for that thing. They could keep it. I think Ebay is the best bet like Aaron48 said.

 

I have a Nightster style peanut tank for sale brand new and OEM. I even do custom painting, if interested. Just met me know. Thanks!

 

The obvious place for a new tank is your local friendly dealer. Last time I looked they can be bought in correect colour scheme or primer. However as already suggested you can find them, including secondhand ones, on ebay. I bought a 6 gallon dresser tank for 66 bucks! There are 460 Sporty tanks on Ebay at present.

 

How much are you looking to get for the tank?

 

There may be 460 Sporty tanks on Ebay but only a handful for EFI application. I know that I can always go to the dealer but if I can save a few bucks, why not?

 

Hell yeah I picked up a perfect 3.3 on ebay for $186 shipped.
