Post by: YZ250H on November 22, 2012, 04:34:24 pm

Reasonable condition preferred.  Happy to repaint the tank / recover the seat.

you a funny guy.... :D
so no, i don't have a tank or seat to suit said bike.
should you ever choose to resell it i'd be interested though.
there's a heap of sites in the UK that do parts/spares for the TY's and Ebay 2nd hand parts can sometimes be bid on quite heavily.

I worked out that all the cool kids are getting trials bikes  ::)  I'm coming back to Brissie in the new year, so I thought I'd better either join in or miss out.
Apart from that I have worked out that I'm not that good at riding fast, so maybe slow is my thing  ;D ;D

Thanks for the links.  I will have a loook at em when I get a chance.

Y'know Tony, a YZ125c tank would look good on that frame :)

Interesting ...  except they cost a motza and I'm likely to get bashed by a 125C owner that can't find a tank for their bike  :o :o

I do like the slimline look of the C tank.  The TY tank looks pretty good too.  There are a couple of good examples on EBay Us.  They have Patina (dents), but are probably bogable  ::) ::)

watch for internal rust in A model (steel) tanks. Either tank will fit the A model (A model and BCDE model tanks)

Thanks FUF.  Do you know if they are the same shape as A type.

The A model tank is quite different in shape to BCDE tank

Hmmm that makes life a bit more interesting...

I was going to try to keep it pretty original  :-\

I was considering this one....
