Title: Tank Swap
Post by: Skyshadow on January 02, 2012, 02:41:00 PM
Looking to swap the stock tank on my '01 750 dark with one from a different bike. I like the lines on the Streetfighters and GT Sport Classic. Does anyone know what tanks will fit my bike or what i would have to do to get say like a 999 tank to fit?

Take a look at the California Cycleworks track tanks for Monsters... well as soon as they get their website fixed  [bang]

I'm guessing it's not fixed yet cause I searched their site and no tanks came up

Oh, I like. $519 is going to put it at the back end of my mods list but I think I'll get it. Thanks for showing me that.

This is a Monster SBK that belonged to a member here (if memory serves me correctly).  Pretty sweet setup for a 2-valve SBK.   [thumbsup]

Just a heads up, Chris Kelley at Cycleworks is currently resurfacing the Monster Tank mold you see in the picture above. If you would like to be notified when it is in production again please contact me here or at orders@ca-cycleworks.com so we can put you on the list.

If she's not here.... no, they are not, absolutely not.

Candace,

Chris is doing more research to try and get them to be paintable. At the moment, they come in colors because paint does not stick to it well enough due to the gas fumes.

Thanks,
Candice
