Bigger Tank (Read 12 times)

Zack Hodges Guest	Bigger Tank 02/06/05 at 09:13:15 I would like to put a fatter fuel tank on my bike I have a 1997 Savage. I was just wondering if anyone know of something that would fit. I would be thankful for any suggestions.

8)Hi Zack! ... putting another tank on the Savage can be a bit problematic ... though if you are a bit of DIY fabricator, then I've read that of others that have "adapted" tanks to their Savages ... the VZ800 Marauder tank, the Sportster tank and the Kawi EN750 tank (which I believe is one of the better "fits") have all been retrofitted to the Savage at one time or another.
Heck, if you really good with sheet steel, then I guess the limit is that of your imagination!

I will be facing a tank mounting issue myself. I will be putting on a coffin tank for old school chopper look. The tank I will be buying has curved mounting tabs and the Savage has a square backbone. Thats issue #1. There will be more and I am fairly sure I need to do some bracket fabrication. There is a guy who enlarges Suzuki Intruder tanks and he may do a Savage tank as well. Then it is a simple remount just like stock, I'll search for the link to the tank builder.

Tank mods on the LS650 are kinda rare ... but the few I've seen on the web, look really cool!
