Drag Specialties Extended Smooth-Top Fat Bob Gas Tank For Harley Sportster 1982-2003 Drag Specialties Fat Bob Tank: Mastering the Sportster Range Standard The Drag Specialties Extended Smooth-Top Fat Bob Gas Tank for Harley-Davidson Sportster (1982-2003) represents the pinnacle of streamlined fuel architecture for the serious long-distance enthusiast. For the rider of an XLH 883 or 1200 who values the precision of a competition-grade “Fat Bob” signature as much as long-term structural durability, the challenge has always been finding a tank that bridges the gap between raw, performance-oriented fuel volume and elite factory-integrated reliability. The Extended Smooth-Top system addresses these concerns by providing a massive-volume, precision-engineered foundation, designed to maximize fuel delivery and chassis balance. This design provides secure, mechanical utility by utilizing a refined, wide-profile geometry, effectively providing a high-output touring delivery that prevents fuel anxiety and range limitations during high-velocity urban runs and aggressive highway sprints. This provides the mechanical synchronization of fuel capacity and elite motorcycle management needed to keep the rider confident, maximizing the efficiency of your performance run.
