Cutting out where the speedometer opening is and welding patches over that gets you to 3 gallons with the stock tank. And looking at pictures, the 3.4 gallon tank from a GZ250 looks like it would be a possible fit too.

My only real complaint with my S40 is the rather short range with the small gas tank and around 55 mpg mileage. I wish we had a dependable 150+ mile range before going on reserve.

Jerry,
I have bought a kawasaki vn 750 tank to fit on the savage, It is 3 1/2 gallons. Not alot more but with the dial a jet added to my carb and a chain conversion I think I can easily get 60 plus miles a gallon. That puts me at 180 plus before I hit reserve. The dimensions of the tank are very similar to the stock tank but one added plus, they come with a fuel gauge! Yeah, I'll have a fuel gauge on a savage. And no instrument panel on the tank. I like it!
