    Anybody know what larger sportster shape tank will direct replace the stock tank on a 1994 XLH833. We want to keep that shape on my son's sportster, and don't want to go the fat bob style.
    Guess the current tank is around 2.25 gal. and a 3.5 would work.
    Anybody done it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Charlie

    The 3.25 gallon "King" tank Lucifer mentioned is a direct replacement, although it is longer & you'll probably have to change the seat too. In 1995, 883's still came with the 2.25-gal. "Peanut" tank but 1200's came with the King tank. Switching from one to the other is a simple job though - same mounts, etc.

    Also, the 3.3-gal. tank that 1st came out in '96 (for all Sportsters) & was used thru '03 is a bolt-on. The only signifcant difference to consider (other than lenght) is where the petcock is mounted - some on the right side, others on the left. You can use either one, but one might interfere with the key switch, etc.
