Well , does it fit?

I don't think anyone here has tried it, that may be the reason no one responds.

i believe the biggest problem would be the location of the mounts.

Forward mounts are totally different...

:iagree: along with the petcock location would be too high, how much fabrication on the tank can you do?

Anything can be made to fit with a hot wrench and hammer!:2thumbs:

was hoping it was tried so I wouldnt have to fabricate. it does not need to be the mastiff tank, just a tank similar that would fit k9 mounts.
if not, what might be closet type of tank with minimum fabrication

Maybe you are looking for something like "Reaper´s" tank? check his Ridgeback out.

Here one of his Threads where you can see his bike: http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/dog-pound/45352-met-dennis-rodman-tonight.html

You originally asked if the Mastiff tank would work

Do you have a Big Dog manual? you can see the different mounts in there.

The short answer is no.

I need to clarify that I do not have the EFI, it is a G-carb. my bad
looks like the mounting is different anyway.

Carbed models are the same way except for the fuel pump access cut-out...
