I think the last year for the 3-1/2 gallon tanks was '64, I think the police edition in '65 had them. After that they switched to 5 gallon tanks.What years and models did Harley put on 3 1/2 gallon flatside tanks? Is there an easy way to tell from pictures? I want to buy a set but they all look like 4.2 Heritage tanks to me. Thanks
No, oem 3-1/2 gallon tanks were used up until '64/'65, after that they went to 5 gallon tanks.So what you're saying is there are no original flatside 3.5 gallon tanks only the repops. I want rubber mounted ones that are original Harley, but if they weren't made I'll go with the 4.2's
Gotcha. I think 4.2 gallon and 5 gallon were the choices on those.What I want are rubber mount flatside not the old solid mount .
Hd 48 Hes talking softail tanks , not Fl Shovel or Pan ,
Yes they made 3.5 Flatside Softail Tanks , you can tell by the width at the back , i will go through my books and see when they used them the only bike i know of for sure is 1988 -89 Softail Springer Custom (FXSTS) i think .... Pm me and ill get you a set of Oem's
