Rickss69 your bike does look awesome. The paint job and your choice of pipes and the headlight bring it all together great! I think those choices is what makes it work. I can image that killer paint job with a peanut tank with Basani sweeps and a smaller headlight that would look pretty freakin awesome as well. Your paint job is what sets it all off. I bet thats at least a 500 dollar paint job too. Still a fan of the peanut tank and in my opinion it is what makes a sporty look like a sporty. The 4.5 tank reminds my of other bike and harley models, when ya see a peanut tank you just think sporty.

I don't think Sporty.
It's always about the motor.

You've probably figured this out by now, but here you go.
Any 4.5 glln tank from '07 and up will fit (fuel injection began in '07). You can trim the front of your factory seat to accommodate the longer 4.5, or get a different seat from/for a 2007-2009 that's made for a 4.5 (the ECM is in a different location for other model years and is a hindrance for seat fitment). You won't have any issues with tank clearance unless you have really short drag bars and bottom mount mirrors. Check any used or after market tank for inside rust. Have the inside of the tank cleaned/coated before painting.
