Chasing a tank for YZ465G and tank decals
« on: April 29, 2014, 09:14:58 pm »
Hi gents,

I am chasing a tank for a YZ465G and also wondering if anyone out there can point me in the right direction of where i might be able to source some decent tank decals ?

Thanks in advance,

Geoffro

I have found these to be great quality.  The perforated one seems to last a bit longer.

As far as tanks go, sour options are pretty limited.  You can try and jag a second hand one (which could crack without notice) or go for the one from Les Richters or XYZ.  They are not the same shape or capacity , but fit the bill OK.  I have one fitted to my 250 and it looks OK.

I wish someone would make the original shapes, but that's not going to happen.

Good luck
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible
