Wassel Gas Tank

[rps1116]

Hi guys,

My name is Rich. Does anyone know if a mid tunnel Wassel style gas tank from TC Bros will fit on my 1977 XS650. Will I need to do some fab work in order to make it fit without having to mess with the top motor mount. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Rich

It will not fit over the stock top motor mounts. Yes, you'll have to drill the frame and weld in threaded bungs to mount the tank. I guess you could use U bolts to mount the tank, never seen anyone do it that way. You know that the bros sell top motor mounts that will fit with the tank, right?

Edit, The high tunnel Wassel tank with the different motor mounts is the one that sits right and proper on the XS frame.

Thanks for the reply and info mrtwowheel I didn’t know that TC Bros sold the top mount I will definitely purchase it soon.
