View Full Version : Anybody making a fat tank tonyz2897 5th January 2005, 08:32 for the '04 that doesn't require using the shorter seat? I already have the HD touring seat and I love it, but it just doesn't look right with the small tank. I realized what I'd done, after I'd already bought and installed the seat, but I've been hanging on to the hope that somebody in the aftermarket would make a tank that fits. Thanks, Tony gp9739 5th January 2005, 21:06 Is the touring seat for a custom or roadster? If it's for a custom, the larger custom tank will fit. tonyz2897 11th January 2005, 03:41 It's an '04 XL883 Std.

That's what I'm getting at. If I get a stock big tank, I'll have to buy a new (shorter) seat to go with it. Since I've already shelled out the coin for the touring seat that fits with the small tank, I was hoping that somebody had started making an aftermarket tank that would work with the (longer) seat made for the small tank. I'm confusing myself now... :confused: Tony gordy 11th January 2005, 13:01 some of the larger tanks especially the stretched versions have a scallop so that the tank fits around the front of the seat gordy alleydude 11th January 2005, 13:16 If you're looking into using the '04 Custom tank, then the (52112-04) Touring seat, shown above, will work just fine. tonyz2897 11th January 2005, 23:33 Ok, I was under the impression that 52112-04 wouldn't work with the Custom tank. I was afraid I'd have to buy the touring seat (52109-04) that's made for the Custom if I wanted to use that tank. That's why I was asking about aftermarket tanks. Thanks for the help! Tony alleydude 11th January 2005, 23:36 I'm sorry, I misspoke. It is the 52109-04 that my wife has on her 883 Custom. Sorry for the missinformation. xllent01 11th January 2005, 23:51 Try looking athttp://www.fattank.com This is the MAC-DADDY of fat tanks. Kind of makes the sportster look like a BT wannabe. Keep the stock tank, gives you more time to stop and meet some kool people at each gas stop. :yikes tonyz2897 12th January 2005, 11:21 Those are some nice looking tanks! They didn't say anything about what years/models they would fit though. I guess I'll just have to contact them. Thanks, Tony Gone 12th January 2005, 19:57 I have a HD sporster tank for sell.
