    Fuzzy pic but to me it looks like a stock tank on a Shovel FXE.
    Of more interest to me as your fitting it to an EFI bike is how to manage the fueling (pump/filter) and electronics you’ll remove with the stock Street Bob tank.

    I fitted that same tank to my Dyna carb model , I had a few old shovel FXE kick start only model. They are not a Sportster tank most are Shovel big twin tank, but they did haves roadster ( sportster ) model that used one, just the sportster that used that tank had the peacock on right side shovel big twin had it on left side.  Could use external electric fuel pump, the tank not hard to fit to a dyna , just all made for carb
    U can make anything fit anything if you want to. I think probably easier to look for an electric fuel pump that runs at same pressure. As factory EFI & mount on outside of tank

    Big problem with the dyna is the back bone of the frame is a horrible looking big square tube with a ton of wiring along it, the tanks cover a lot of nasties.

    Having said that I think easyriders Japan had a bolt on tank for Dynas but I don’t know if it was efi or carb

    Mr Mow I fitted a shovel super glide kick start model [small battery model ] shovel tank to a twin cam dyna carb model no problem as that tank has a big wide tunnel for frime clearance
    I had two spare original tanks like that, sold on fitted other to dyna

    In line 12v fuel pumps are usually available from speed shops, try and get a small variable unit with a range at least between 55/62 psi (I think). Don’t wire it through the ignition switch but via the exiting wiring to the fuel pump thus keeping the EFI fuel cutoff relay intact.
