I like how you park your bikes in the house.
Haha thanks, my parents house has enough room in their family room since I live in an apartment. That's my dad's breakout behind my bike.

Looks great. When it warms up, I'll be putting mine on. I hope it will look as nice as yours - you got a great deal on that tank.

Yea I only needed an extra gallon so I had no need to go that route with the 4.5. The 3.3 seems plenty big and actually makes my drag bars look really low cuz of how the tank sits on the bike. Almost like the appearance of a tank lift without doing so. Within the next couple months I wanna do the coil and key relocate and wire tuck the bike to get rid of all the plastic stuff going along the frame.

I ordered the 3.3 from HD. You can buy them just primed and unpainted. I had watched ebay for awhile but they all usually had a ding in the tank, so I finally bit the bullet and bought one. I had a local who our dealer sends their tanks out to for painting paint it. He had the original Harley white gold pearl paint from another job he did. It looks great.

Nice, that's a gorgeous color. Definitely post some pics up when you get that tank on.
