I have five Sportster gas tanks that I've accumulated over the years. Hopefully, one of these tanks will be used on my 1964 XLCH. The problem is, I don't know which of them are real OEM tanks, which are GMA, Paugho, etc. They all look identical with details that seem to indicate OEM quality. One hopeful indicator is that two of the tanks do not have the vent tube that was used for the 1966 and later Tollitson carburator. If memory serves correctly, the aftermarket tanks all had the vent tube, as it would enable the tank to be used on earlier and later bikes.
Is there any detail or other sure-fire way to determine which of these tanks are OEM?
