gas tank

This tank just came my way via a friend who picked it up to solve my bike's needs. Unfortunately it won't exactly work for me. I don't know the year/make of the bike it's for...Hence this post. Any ideas? I've been chasing tanks for my bike ('81 yamaha xj550 maxim) and all the tanks look...

I was wondering if anyone ever put a SR400/500 tank on there XS. I tried searching around and couldn't find a definitive answer. If anyone has experience with this I would appreciate the input.

Hey, I have the TC Bros tank, but it seems a little long for my 72 frame. I'm wondering if i can cut/shave the mounting brackets at the front and back of the tank to get it to fit. i don't know a whole lot about metal working and im kind of new at this and I want to make sure that its not...

I can now remove as much rust as possible through Electrolysis, which is using water and electricity. It's a 1-3 day process depending on how well you want it done. It can take up to 5 days, really depending on how bad it is inside. I can only do one tank at a time for now, until I'm able to get...

Hey guys I have some left over parts from my recent build and have the following parts. All parts have come off my 1979/80 Yamaha XS650SG. I do have some Yamaha DT125 and DT175 parts in the storage if anyone is looking. DM for pictures will be going to storage to snag sometime this week...

My custom made cover for my OEM gas cap, no harm done to the original. I can make custom ones for you to a point. Still don't have much for materials.

I have a gas tank with a key for the cap. Has two small dings in the front from how the bars where turned upside down. They hit the tank when they turned. (It was not me) other then that looks to be in good condition. Looks like someone tried to line the inside of the tank And it is bubbling and...

Anyone know? Trying to get the correct gas cap. Thanks!

If I use ethanol stabilizer will that prevent the nasty stuff from eating through my fiberglass tank?

Ok. Just bought my '83 XS in-a-basket and am getting ready to start my street tracker project. I figure seat and tank are the right place to start. I keep hearing these horror stories about ethanol eating fiberglass resin. Is there an alternative to fiberglass out there? Are there glass tanks...

So, I made the mistake of letting my friend rip my bike in a parking lot and he ended up in the bushes after about 10 seconds of glory. I've uploaded some photos of the damage, but as far as I can tell the lower front forks are toast, gas tank is obviously dented, and front fender is bent. I...

Hey guys, full disclosure I am a total noob to owning a bike and being a member on this site. I purchased the bike last summer with 9,800mi, and immediately took it to a shop to have a pro look it over to make sure it was safe and street worthy. I got a full summer in of riding last year and...

So I have this triumph tank that's in excellent shape, and I really like it. But, I need ideas filling the gap. It's about 4-5 inches as seen. I will be able to take up some space with the seat, but I don't want a big ass seat just to fill the space. I was thinking maybe a space for the tool...

So my poor baby took a bad fall in the garage not too long ago :( and the result of that fall is a dented gas tank. Was doing some work on her with the center stand down and somehow I bumped the bike wrong and she came down on her right side. Oh well live and let learn. Here are some pictures...

I have switched out the gas tank on my bike to a xs550 tank and am selling my current tank. I am not sure the year for the tank and am wondering how many variations of xs650 tanks there were. The bike I bought is a 1975 but mods were done to it by the PO. I will be posting this in the sale...

Sorry to ask the noob question, but I haven't seen this addressed yet. Have a pretty nasty tank, was lined with kreemr pretty sloppily and rust. Before I add acetone and some screws, my question is if the acetone or screws will damage my petcocks.

Hey everybody i'm new to the xs world. Ive been working on cars and quads my whole life but just recently got into road bikes and i'm loving it! I have a 1974 xs650 se. The Bike needs a few things one being a new tank. I want to buy the 64-7700 tank from mikesxs except I hear that although...

this is a very dumb question most likely, but i need to remove my tank and empty gas in order to deal with the rust on the inside of the tank...ive researched some things on gettting rust off and coating the inside, but nothing on how to simply remove the gas before you dismount the tank, ha...i...

If so, I could really use the little gas cap latch pin that goes in here. I'm nearing the end of my ground up build on a 78 special, and so far, this is the only thing I've misplaced. If anybody has one on an old busted up tank, and would like to sell it to me, I'd be thrilled. Thanks in...
