Hey
Would anyone possibly have, or know of where I could get, a 1970s/80s style long range plastic fuel tank?
After one to fit to an XL175, original has a hole in it and want to increase fuel range.
cheers

Although its listed for yamaha, its actually a universal one and is identical to the universal Don Vesco SFLA (skinny-fat, leading axle) except it doesnt have the 'V' underneath and the cap is Clarkes. I think Clarke bought some of the molds from Don Vesco or they copied some of his tanks and thats why when you see an old vesco tank like this on ebay, it looks the same as the ones you can get from Clarke.
another one
