Title: White IT tank
Post by: YUMASTEPSIDE on June 21, 2015, 09:47:12 am
Has anyone ever seen a white, I think about 1982, IT175 tank for sale ?    I'm looking for one for a project bike, but I think they are going to be" like the proverbial" to find.   ::)

You might have a 1981 IT 175, the '82's in the states where blue.
Does it have a linkage rear suspension or cantilever style?

CLARK probably do them, you can choose what color you want when ordering. I got one new from the states for a 175g and they are good quality

The YZ seat is about 30mm longer at the front than the IT, so assume the YZ tank is shorter.

I don't trust what Clarke says their capacities are now. 2 times i have bought tanks and both were several liters short of what they claimed the capacity should be. Both were ment to be 14L, 1 was 12.75 and the other one 11.85.
