New gas tank
10/31/14 at 13:44:46

Hey everyone

I've found a peanut style gas tank that could be a really nice fit for the savage backbone, and thought I would share it with ya'll..

It's a Suzuki Gn 125 / 250 gas tank

This tank is similar in the cavity underneath, with a wider section in the bottom end, which is exactly what is needed for the savage backbone. I think this tank has a very cool look to it too, more narrow and shorter, with an old school touch..

I am currently bidding on one of these on ebay..

A quick note, the Gn 400 tank doesn't look to fit very well..

Let me know what you guys think

here's some pics :

I sure would love to find a 4 or 5 gallon tank that would fit our bike and look good. Not so much for long trips but so I don't have to fill up every other day.

But hey, surprisingly enough, the gn tank actually holds 10,3 liters versus the savage's 10,5 ? I wouldn't have thought that, but sweet.. 4-5 gallons, that's a tough one..

I tried this tank today. It's very close to being able to fit, would need to only use a shorter top engine mount bolt/maybe a tiny bit of hammer work around the middle. Back fits easily.
They are still making these new - I tried one from a Uk supplier but they are also available new direct from China via aliexpress.com in quite a few colours.
This tank didn't match up with the seat I have already built and so I decided I am going to stick with the GT tank route but thought I would post this here for info.
I checked these quoted dimensions and they are correct. I'm 95% sure the gn125 and gn250 tanks are the same dimensions.
