Title: Fuel tank. Yamaha XS650 SE Post by: Manky Monkey on May 24, 2010, 06:27:18 PM For Sale.
1980 Yam fuel tank. Just unbolted it from my latest project donor bike. Appears to be leak free & un-dented, but I don't know what's under the paint. Comes with original vacuum fuel tap, hinged lockable cap & key. Measures roughly 21 inches long by 10 at the widest point. Mounts on 2 rubber bungs at the front & a single bolt at the back. Don't know how many gallons it'll hold, but small enough to make a nice chop or trike tank. Sensible offers here or by PM please. I'm looking for a standard Harley Sportster tank, preferably the later screw-in cap type, so happy to swap or barter for one if you've got one. Title: Re: Fuel tank.

it got passed on to PD for a future project. He could well be persuaded to part with it though if you desperately need one. I've PM'd you his contact details, (Basingstoke, Hants). Tell him we sent you! ;) |
