rm370 fuel tank
« on: July 14, 2010, 07:20:12 pm »
Can anyone tell me if a pe250b alloy fuel tank will fit an rm 370b? It looks like it mounts the same. but maybe slightly larger capacity. ???

It'll mount up but the PE tank is longer and has a shorter seat.

Thanks Dave. I tried the tank on the rm370 frame but its a bit long, as you say. Where could i find a replacement tank and seat for this old girl? I need an exhaust too, maybe a collector or bike wrecker may have these bits? I am looking for a 370 engine too. Can anyone help?

Hi Bill
Would you part with the tank seperately? I want a spare ride tank for my RM250B to save the good one from possible damage when I ride in events, I've been looking occasionally but when one comes up they're either over the top price wise or are gone before I get a chance to act.

I'm easy, a 370 or 125 tank will do, but it has to be an original aluminium job.

Hi all, It doesnt sound much for now, but a bit more than a frame with wheels, thanks Davey! You have to start with something, and sourcing all the bits is half the fun.At least for us sickos! I have a 250b engine to kick off with, 370 engine will go in time.It is surprising how much different models share.I will keep sniffing around.
Cheers, Shane
