Will this fit my 1982 or newer Sportster?

No — this tank is for 1979-1981 models only. Later Sportsters (1982+) require a different tank with screw-style cap bungs and different mount points.

What gas cap does this tank use?

The 1979-1981 version accepts cam-style gas caps. Gas caps are sold separately.

Does this tank come ready to install?

No — the tank arrives in raw metal and requires pressure testing, sealing, and final paint/body work before installation.

Is there a warranty on the tank?

Warranty does not cover tanks that are not pressure-tested and properly sealed before use. Follow sealing procedures to maintain coverage.

How much larger is this compared to stock?

This 3.1-gallon tank provides significantly greater fuel capacity than the stock Sportster tank for extended riding range.
