My Brother has just waited 4 months for a new replacement fuel tank for his 1994 DR650 only to find out yesterday that the bike shop can't get one. I think they were trying to get him a Clarke tank from the US however now they're telling him it's NLA.
Anyway the poor bastards DR has been off the road with a badly rusted tank all that time and he just wants to get it going again and go for a ride.
Before I head off to US Ebay, would anyone have a replacement one or have any contacts where we might locate one in Aust?
Cheers

Thanks for the PM Tony but I called him and it's a 2009 model. They changed mountings around 1996 from what I can determine so definately still looking for a 1994 model tank.

i remember fitting a tt600 desert tank to one of those and a dude was selling bolt on brackets to suit,maybe that could be a way to get him back on the road again even if its the std size tt600 tank

How hard was it to fit Matt? I mean the rear of the standard tank has 2 mounting bolts, what does the TT600 one have? What wee the brackets for exactly?

ok the shop i worked for back then gave me a kit of brackets and bolts etc as well as the tt600 desert tank and it all bolted on quite nicely,as to who made the brackets ive got no idea i just remember fitting it and it "looked the part" i dout if that guy who made the bracket kit is still around but maybe someone else on here can shed some light on it

I did a little internet research and it seems tanks for the early ones aren't that easy to find.
Maybe ring around the wreckers if you haven't done so already.
Send Canam370 a pm too. I know it's not strictly his brand, but he might know of something and he's great to deal with.
But don't tell him I said so............ :-\

loads of later model tanks on Ebay. may be you could make brackets and fit later tank.
