Strong built but needs lots of prep work
I bought this tank to replace my 48's 2.1 tank. The tank came 10 days later in good condition as there where no dents that I could see from unpackaging. The first thing the instructions ask you to do is to check for leaks. I thought this was odd because it is brand new, the manufacturer should do this. Anyways I found a radiator shop here in Calgary to do it, the tank was good. I choose not to use that sealing kit that is heavily advertised on the web as I don't trust the long lasting effect of the paint you are supposed to put inside the tank. My rating of 3 is because when I cleaned and lightly sanded the tank and then primed it, the thing seemed to have so many small imperfections that I was surprised. I needed to sand a lot, particularly in the top, because there are mini holes in the welding section (middle of tank) that primer would not cover and filler won't either. I had to sand (with sander) bare metal with 180 grit for at least 2 hours to get this good, then another layer of primer brought out some wavy imperfections in the top again that needed filler and more sanding...
In short this is a strongly built good quality tank, great if you are planning to send it to somebody for paint work, but requires a lot of work if you are DIY. I have automotive paint experience and painted myself with spray paint, however I won't recommend to buy this if DIY with minimum prep and painting experience.

Questions
In the display pic there are two different tanks .. is it the normal one or the concave inlay one ??
If you enter the year, make and model of your bike on the product page, and the item shows as a guaranteed fit, it will give you the option to select either the OEM style or the indented style from the drop down menu
OEM style = Item number 012916
Indented style = Item number 012920

I have a 2014 48, I have read on other sites that this tank’s overflow valve is on the wrong side for a 48. Is this the case? Did you have to purchase anything else in order to successfully install this tank?
I have the 2014 48. The overflow valve is on the wrong side but I was able to re route the hose and it reached the other side without modification. Just needed a few zip ties.
