The mounts on this 2.9 gallon, heavy gauge steel gas tank are stock fitment on 1986 – 1994 Harley-Davidson Sportsters. This is a more traditionally styled gas tank than found on stock 1986 – 2003 Sportsters. This is a flat-bottom tank, as opposed to modern Sportster gas tanks that round over at the bottom. This tank accepts a stock-style 22mm H-D style petcock and thread-in Harley-Davidson style gas caps (sold separately). See Additional Information below for fitment.

This tank features:

• Heavy gauge steel with reinforced seams
• High strength mounting tabs
• 2.9 gallon tanks are 2 in. wider than stock tanks
• Unpainted steel finish
• Uses 22mm petcock

Note that this gas tank will bolt on to 1982-1985 Sportster frames as well. Those years did not have rubber-mounted gas tanks, however, the mounting points are the same. If you use the later year range Sportster gas tank mounting hardware this gas tank bolts right in place without issue.

Note: It is highly recommended to fit your gas tank to your bike before painting. Check for clearance or mounting issues as different combinations of triple trees, risers, and handlebars may cause clearance issues when turning. Tanks are pressure tested but it is highly recommended that you or your painter pressure test it again before painting; it’s cheap insurance!
