Title: Fire it up!!!!!!!
Post by Rtrnate1283 on 01/01/17 at 22:10:07

Im sure you won't remember but I recently boutht an 06 model in pieces for a project hardtail bobber. I have pieced it together enough to hear it run. I got it fired off tonight and it sat there and ran like a champ. Sounded awesome by the way. What a relief. I have a wad of wires draped across it now. It's a mess. Now I will label my wires and tear down for cutting. Will keep you posted and thanks for any answered questions I have had.

I will not be using this tank. This is the tank the previous owner was gonna use. I'm still deciding on a tank.

When you decide on your new tank I may be interested in buying the tank you now have.

Do you know how much fuel the tank holds?

Not for sure. But I would say at least a 4 gallon tank. I'm not sure what it came off of.

If it is not too difficult to mount on my S40 I would really like to have it.

How about this one?

It's from a GZ250

That's the tank blade

Title: Re: Fire it up!!!!!!!
Post by Kenny G on 01/03/17 at 07:04:58

That is the ideal tank for the Savage/S40 if the tunnel doesn't take too much work.

It will force getting the speedometer up where it can be seen when riding.

That is a 3.4 gallon tank.  Unless you want to change to the look of that tank.....is it really worth the extra work to adapt it for 0.6 gallon 115 mile range instead of 100 miles?

Title: Re: Fire it up!!!!!!!
Post by Kenny G on 01/03/17 at 09:55:22

Dave,

I would like to get the speedometer up where I can see it without spending a fortune covering the opening in the stock fuel tank.

An extra 15 miles on a tank of fuel is a bonus...

the tank off the late 70's GS750 four has a similar shape and may hold more fuel.
