K-9 tank on a Chopper?

[dogvet]

Narow, thanks. I feel Ray on this one. You might have thought that BDM would have just put a 4.4 gal tank on both from the start. It would have been a very minor production change for them and made both model owners happy when it comes to this issue.

Putting a 4 gallon tank from a bike with a longer backbone on a bike that has a smaller tank isn't a "minor production change". since the frames are different, the mounts are different. Never worked in a motorcycle factory before have you?

ACTUALLY NO I HAVEN'T. I'VE BEEN IN THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR WORLD FOR OVER 40 YEARS THOUGH. I MUST ADMIT THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD MY BIG DOG APART SO I GUESS MY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW IT'S BUILT IS NOT A STRONG AS YOURS. AFTER ALL IT WAS JUST A SUGGESTION QUESTION TO TRY AND GET SOME INPUT ON THE CONCEPT.

Sure would be nice if the puppy farm would put out a list of tanks, fenders etc that interchange, or can be swapped with minimal mods. :2thumbs:

I've got a couple of em under my belt. Between layoffs and just comin in and finding that the place is closed, it's tuff to make a career out of motorsickles. Judging by the capital letters, I've struck a nerve amongst you folks. I apologize. If things were simple, those of us who chose this industry as career wouldn't have to worry about the future.

I signed up on this site to share what I've learned over the years cuz manufacturers and dealers come and go at the drop of a hat these days.

sorry for gettin out of line!

No need for apologise! Not to mention that there are a lot of people that just find it easier to just leave the cap lock button engaged and type away.

Your imput is without a doubt awesome. Thanks for all.:2thumbs:

Absolutely DogVet. I wasn't aware of my caps lock error. It wasn't intenional. I am in this group to learn more about my beloved Big Dog. At my age (60) I'm sure it's my last motorcycle purchase so I want to learn as much as I can about it from the more experienced members here. Also to contribute as much help and info as I can. I really enjoy this website. I check it all day long at work and at home as time permits. I've already learned a lot about my Dog and look froward to learning a lot more. Also to whatever rides and events I can attend to expand my personal face to face realtionships wqith the members here.
