Does Color Matter?

I picked my tank up from Just Gas Tanks. Good service. I had to wait something around 6 months for delivery as they were back ordered from the manufacturer. They fit okay on '06-'07, and will fit the '09+ bikes with minor issues. Do your research before buying so you aren't surprised. You'll find most answers on this forum with a search. At least one member also installed a fuel pump to get most fuel out of the wings without needing to slosh it around. I didn't, though. I like sloshing.

This link says you have to move the wiring harness, is that true? Does not seem like anyone has reported that on the threads I read. How is the choke issue resolved? Thinking this might be a worthwhile investment once I get my jetting right.

HEY - MY 1,000TH POST. MAY BECOME A MEMBER OF PWI !!
I didn't move the wiring harness. May be an issue for '09+.
The choke lever can jam against the petcock. There are work-arounds, like shaving off a little from the lever grip, holding the lever open, shortening the lever shaft, and others.
The '09+ seat won't fit as well against the tank - leaves a little gap. There's pics around hear if you search. Other good links:

I'm seeing a lot of the bikes using alternative body parts. Is this a functional modification or just a matter of preference? Also, I really want the black/green combo or an all green bike. What cost range is involved in swapping out to the alternative parts. Off year, red seems to be able to save me almost a grand at this point. Thanks!!!

It comes with its own petcock that has a reserve. Didn't use the stock petcock, and I'm not sure if I could. Petcock is close to the same position, but not quite. I pointed mine rearward; it can be reversed to point towards the front, but that interfered with the choke lever more. Not many do the pump. It's more for those who watch their miles and levels close and don't want to switch to reserve or tilt the bike over, which to me is no biggie at all.
I'll try to remember to snap a pic or two and post in the 351 build thread.
