Assuming that it has the 3.3 on it now, is there a perceived need for the 4.5 or do you expect that you'll like the look?

To me, the sportster needs the peanut tank. Not a fan of the bigger custom XL style tanks.

Still, the 3.3. gal capacity of the regular peanut tank is a joke - and don't get me started on the tank of the 72...

Isn't anyone offering a large peanut style tank?

kewl...

I have seen a 4.5 for the Nightster in the future, wife is even said she may want one..., however, dunno about her seat... suspect a 4.5 will require it to be moved back...

Nice looking bike!

Also like the D&D Bobcat!
