I live 30 mins south of Canberra, I will try to get some pics over the weekend and pm them to you.
The tank has no tap or cap but is in fairly decent shape for it's age, it is yellow and has a couple of very small dents and will need painting.
The seat is complete but will need a cover, I believe it is from a YZ125C as well, but when I get some pics I will take some measurements of the mounting points so that you can determine if it will fit or not.
I haven't really thought about a price, it's been hanging in my garage for about 12 years gathering dust alongside a coffin tank from a Maico.
I'll work out a price for the tank and seat separately in case the seat won't work for you, or if you have a price in mind once you've seen the pics, just let me know.
Tony.

I don't think it would be expensive to Pack n Send or post, they weigh bugger all!
Another possible option is I could get it to Wollongong on our next visit to my daughter and son in law, but that may not be for a month or more.
We have visitors on the weekend so I won't be able to travel anywhere.

If young Jimson passes on the tank,  i know of someone who may be interested. Not wanting to cut in of course.

don't know how wide the tunnell in a 125C tank is,but Jimson's tanks tunnells 100 out to 190 for a pretty good reason,it's a bigarse wide frame top tube with that mono shock running up in there,if the c tank fitted,don't plan on riding any big distance??,just saying ;), :P

Good point Mick, I don't know how far Jimson intends on riding or if it will fit, some measurements may help?

I'm happy to measure the tunnel in the C tank to determine whether or not it will fit....no point buying bits that will never fit!

My c/x tank measures 95mm at the seam and about 60mm where it wraps around the shock spring, measured at the bottom edge of the tank (without taking it off the bike :D )
