BIG typo. Should be 2.4 gals. ....Unless I can find some kind of a ''gas shoehorn''. A ''gashorn''? I do have a 4.2 gal Yamaha tank, as per Smokinblue, but it is going to take a while to do the swap. New inst. panel, home built seat, it all takes time away from riding.

This is exactly what I would mount behind the drivers seat if I got into any serious touring, which isn't likely. Kenny G

MM, I have a tank from a Yamaha 650 V-Star to replace the stock tank. Smokinblue posted about it a few months ago. The stock inst. cluster does not just slap-on and the seat must be modded. I am tossing the stock inst. cluster and going with a Android phone with a gps speedo app. and led idiot lights. I am running both Kaw pulleys and a 150/90 15 rear tire, so the stock unit is 22% off. Hoping to get that elusive 200 mile range.

The fuel bottles are something you could mount semi-discreetly, however.. http://shop.spunaluminumgastanks.com/6x10-BAM-Fuel-Tube-1-Gallon-BAM-610.htm

If I was younger, and still hitting Daytona for Bike Week, I would have a bigger tank and probably it would be one of the spun aluminum tanks that was some where near quick detachable. Kenny G

But don't have a clue which tank might work. Wolf , it sounds like your able to take the long rides with some of us !

That's easy... find a kawa VN probably 750 tank (ala sieversavage)

Almost looks like a savage tank without the speedo hole.
