    Wanted - Sportster 3.3 gallon tank

    I'm looking for a 90's or later sportster gas tank, the 3.3 gallon one.
    My sporty has an FXR tank on which looks good and holds heaps of has but with my short? legs I can't comfortably reach the forward controls because the tank is too wide at the end of the seat. The newer sportster tanks are big enough so I want to swap it for a later one.
    I will repaint it unless it is a really good colour scheme in which case I will repaint the guards to match it.
    I am looking at several tanks on ebay at the mo but they cost about $100 kiwi dollars to get here so it limits what I can look at.

    I guess I don't want to pay more than $200 for a goody so who's got one they no longer need? mayber took off for a larger tank?

    Got one, just painting it up now, I'll post a pic when I get it all together. I ended up getting one from the States which cost me $50 for the tank and $100 for the shipping, still a bargain though. I now have to paint the fenders too of course, so that might take a week or too.

    Yes I will be slling it once I get this painted up and on the bike. I had planned to list it for $300 start price and see where it goes. It is totally straight and the paint is about 8.5 out of 10. I will include the dash which is worth motre than $50 by itself.

    Here are some shots of the original tank, I will sell it for $400 with the gas cap, petcock and tank dash if anyone is interested.
