Might be 125? Def 77.

250/370 tanks are a bit fuller.

That's not out of the realm of possibilities Jumbo..I once purchased 'what I thought' an RM80Z tank cover from the UK ::) Turned out to be for an RM80E so I hunted up all the parts I could and built an RM80E to suit my tank cover. You know how it is..a piece from here and a piece from there and suddenly it all came together ;D

sounds like that johnny cash song Doc. I originally bought it as a replacement tank on my TM' but now you have got me thinking! Are they the mount to have Pre 78, what else blows them away - KX's perhaps? obviously the jockey has a lot to do with that, but rider skiil aside.

Ha mine just blew a big end I'm pretty sure you don't want it :) I'm looking for a spare tank to run on the track as my tank is in very good condition and I don't want to wreck it.

like everyone else here is too most probably, one you use and one to keep. which is what i will be doing with this used one once i get the bike. Unless someone has a decent 74 TM250 tank they want to swap. Which is what i do have.
