Title: Maico square barrel tank
Post by: 090 on October 23, 2007, 06:46:26 pm
Hi all. Could somebody tell me if this tank will suit my square barrel? It looks a bit wide and i am worried it is for an enduro model. Cheers

It should fit a square barrell but it's not a tank I've seen before. It looks like an AW tank but appears wider. If it is an AW tank it will fit as I've got one on my square barrel.

Thanks for the pic Firko, just what i needed to see. I have seen a wide alloy tank before and it was an enduro tank (larger capacity for sure).I do have a fibreglass tank too Yumastepside, just cant beat the ali look though.I will give that one a miss. Cheers

That animal of a tank is wierd ???

I have a couple of original alloy tanks and they are nothing like that thing and my glass ones are also nothing like it either, and I'd hate to land on that corner in a stack too - ouch !!!

I reckon it was a sheety trying out his alloy tank making skills for my money  :D

See you at the back of the pack  ;)
