The guy who made the RH tank for brad's mate, think he's in Vic. I've seen those tanks for sale in Europe, someone over there makes them also.

That looks very similar to the Wulfsport Maico tanks out of the UK , which I believe is a modified Husky tank . I think that Novation Racing from the US do one as well like that with the indent for a safety style seat .

What is that unpainted tank off paul, looks like a copy of a factory Suzuki tank.

Title: Re: wanted this tank or similar or someone who can make one
Post by: paul on January 11, 2009, 08:04:48 pm

its a Suzuki RN83 B.Lackey Replica alloy tank $750 euro

Title: Re: wanted this tank or similar or someone who can make one
Post by: LWC82PE on January 11, 2009, 08:05:58 pm

I have looked at those husky tanks but im pretty damn sure the underside tunnel shape is no good for suzukis.

Title: Re: wanted this tank or similar or someone who can make one
Post by: paul on January 11, 2009, 08:09:37 pm

i suppose he will have to find one and give it a try   if it alloy then im sure some one can modify it to suit  ,if he doesnt want to spend to much$$$$$$$$$$

Post by: Maico31 on January 11, 2009, 08:14:29 pm

Paul it will cost at least $1000 for someone in Aus to make one of those tanks. Modified husky one might be the cheapest way.

Post by: LWC82PE on January 11, 2009, 08:24:57 pm

i have had one of those husky tanks but in plastic for the early 80's 250/430 and the tunnel is very narrow and i think you have to re-locate the coil on the suzuki. the tunnel area near the seat is also not big enough to clear the 2 rails that the seat sits on, but since its alloy it could be all changed underneath i guess.

bit sad to see Scotty go, they were Aussies premier custom builder and the only one that was really able to give the Yanks and Euros a run
