making my head spin....

07 S4R.

Is there a steel/metal tank that will bolt on?  What about a carbon one?  I understand the pump/regulator and pivot will need to be changed....but I'm unclear on it fitting over the 4v engine.

All the steel tanks from 02...I thought it was 03...will fit a 2 or 4V.

I think all the carbon tanks will also.

The S4 tanks are like pre-02 tanks and won't fit.

Not sure about the carbon ones, but I don't think there's any steel tank that will bolt on to an S4Rs or S4Rt.

Whoops! Hadn't had  [coffee] yet. There is NO stock steel tank that will fit over an S4Rt or S4Rs. 998 required different under tank component locations, unless you move a bunch of stuff under the tank.

So it's components...

not the motor itself?

id say if your going to the trouble of changing, prob cutting and welding, the hinge on your frame, and installing a fuel regulator and lines from a steel tank, and then haveing to reline and painting the steel tank, then relocating/positioning the components under the tank prob isnt to big a deal..

its a lot of effort really, but i dont have a plastic tank, so im not sure how un-awesome they really are  [cheeky]

If you got complete coverage...

I'd bet it will.

No cut. No weld. Plastic tanks = the suck.  Class dismissed...

DP: yes, under tank components (battery, wiring, coils, etc...), not motor

I have two plastic tanks that have been coated with caswell by a shop in Pittsburg and I'm sure it will hold.  I'm just on a personal mission to have an aluminum tank created for my Monster (just cause). 

Not getting an earlier model tank, not going to worry about refitting lines, etc, etc.  Just going to have an S2R specific tank made so I can put my current fuel pump in there and be good. 

Stew - Are you up for a challenge like this?  I'd rather give my cash to a forum member than said shop in MA.

I know a guy that hand built a TT tank out of AL.

I'll see if he's up to making something else.

If someone comes up with an aluminum tank for a reasonable price I'll bet you will have a line around the door stretching some 20k bikes.  Good luck. [thumbsup]

Too busy these days and my AL forming isn't up to the task...  Thanks though
