Title: Fuel tank model differences
Post by iRocco on 06/23/15 at 18:38:14

Took the bike to the shop because I could not figure out why it was leaking gas. They said that someone had JB welded a hole and it wasn't holding. So I look on various web sites for parts and come up with several possibilities. I have no idea the differences and whether they're interchangeable.
MODEL K2/K3
MODEL K4
MODEL T/V/W/X
MODEL Y/K1
The diagrams all look about the same... anyone know how to tell which I might need?

Other than paint and decals....the only differences that I am aware of is the shape of the speedometer hole may have changed a bit...and the California models don't vent though the fuel cap and they have a tube vent tube that connects to an can mounted on the muffler mount.

Sometimes the rear tank mount can crack the tank and cause a leak.....somebody might have tried JB weld on that. However JB Weld is not fuel proof and will eventually break down if exposed to gasoline.

Thanks. Turns out the choice is limited by what's left... I ordered one and we'll see if I get lucky or not.
