883 fuel tank question
afghanlander:
2001 883 fuel tank, says "sportster 883". Is this stamped into metal, or just painted on? Can it be removed if I do 883 to 1200 conversion?
mayor:
it's painted or decaled on with clear coat paint over top of it (I think decal). removing it is much harder than finding a different tank on Ebay. :wink:
biker4christ:
i agree with WB ,they use powdercoat paint now ,,very hard stuff even sandblasting takes a while
goldsport:
I repainted the wifes 02 883. It was a decal covered in clearcoat. Actually removed very easy with a little sanding. Don't know about 2001??
chief-z:
why not leave it alone? then you have a real "sleeper" at the stop light drags!! also many insurance companies rate cost by cubic inches so why help em out by advertising you got a larger engine!
