Title: DT100/125/175 feul tank wanted
Post by: vandy010 on July 28, 2011, 09:13:56 am
i stole this pic from Bike Pics but i'm chasing a DT feul tank of similar shape to this one.
any condition considered but obviously would prefer something reasonable.
i'm in Brisbane.
cheers!

Can get you and earlier, more rounded type, but I think I know why you want the later one...

you'd be right too i reckon.
just starting to collect a few bits and pieces to go onto my MX125C frame.
got most of the stuff except for a seat and tank hence this request.
a YZ125C tank doesn't fit the MX125C frame without work.

i've got the YZ'C/X' tank here Bill and they don't go straight on either {also too long!}.
my little MX125A tank is a better fit onto the MX'C' frame but doesn't have the shape.
so i was hoping the DT shape in that pic would do the job.

thats a nice looking tank Bill,
can you remember?
how was the fit around the steering head?
and how long by how much?
at the rear mount?
