Title: gn tank
Post by: spooky on August 13, 2016, 03:38:55 PM

are there any other suzuki tanks that fit a gn with no mods,  that are bigger ? about 3 gallon, i dont mind if i have to fit a different seat,     or any make tank that is a straight fit...

there was a bike on here that someone posted pics of that was a gn250 with a gs125 tank and panels on it. not sure if its 3 gallons in capacity, but it looked utterly fantastic, i will try and find the link.

this is the link to the original advert on gumtree. gn250 with gs125 tank and panels fitted. looks lovely, and in a different colour could look quite katana-ish.

if you want to measure the width between the tank rubbers at the front and the length you have, i will have a measure of the tanks in my shed to see what may be close.

650 katana (and 550, same tank) are 4 inches between the rubbers, but i dont know about front to back though. and theyre probably 5 gallon!
