Maybe better photos my jog memories?
Gentlemen I bought this tank off TM and of course it doesn't fit, is anyone able to Identify it so I am able to sell it with the right details this time.
I only kmow it doesn't fit my 86 XR600R
Details on it are "Acerbis 4601 OrmeniMoto"
Google was unhelpful for once and came up with squat!
Maybe either a Dominator or XL sumfink foreign maybe?
Not an XR 400 500 600 or 650 new or old, maybe a xr350?
First dibs go to who ever Id's it and wants, Choccy fish as well!
Cheers!

was the one you bought off tradme white? i think i saw that listing
it may be for an xr500 83 to 85
but then again if that was the case it should match up reasonably well to
any of the rfvc models

good luck!

It has 2 lugs at the base that match nothing on the xr I have, no seat latch. Forgot to mention that on the site I got the pics from, someone with an early 80's Xr500R remarked it was incompatible too.
Cheers for your input tho!

totally diferrent to the 90's XR6
long time ago when i had an 80 XRL250(27 years) i think they had the 2 bolt lugs


would look good on an old 500A, just imagine chewing up miles of gravel with that much gas

Does look like my red one, which I believe is for the early model (81-82) XR250/500 monoshock. Pre RFVC.

It would also look quite nice on my TT350 instead of the red one I've got...

Hell, I could do a 3hr cross country on the XR250 with the stock tank...

With one of those, just fill it up at the start of the season and ride...

With mine, I was going to build a dakarish 81-82 XR250 with the big tank. But now I've got the TT350...

Although I do prefer the XR250 engine characteristics. Traction everywhere from throttle on 'till valve bouncing...

Swapseees? (I had to use 10 caharacters or it wouldn't let me post...message to short)

[pete-blen]

If yer type "Acerbis 4601 omnimoto" into
google it comes up with 2011 Honda Crosstourer
The tank shapes look very simular squared with flat panels
but still dosn't look quite right..

[NordieBoy]

Swapseees?

Hmmm...

I'll have to mock up some pics of mine with a white version to see what it'd be like...

Yeah pretty sure our tanks are Identical....does yours not have "Acerbis 4601 omnimoto" written on it somewhere underneath. Just have to find someone more vintage than me to sell it too now, sheesh cant even remember when I last saw an 500ra xl or r, in them days my old PE250 would run rings around both of them

[NordieBoy]

Doesn't look too heinous...

I'll see what mine says underneath...

How much did it sting you?

I know several TT350 owners over here that if I can make an easy conversion, may want one.

Justgastanks? Ebay have IMS 3 gal $405 delivered for your shiny noo WR. Your paying $108 for each of those 3 extra litres ya know!

[LoC]

My tank is $203 US = $253 kiwi peso with justgastanks, they hav an archaic shipping calc tho.

[Transalper]

That's all inclusive, the Safari tanks are more expensive and appear to be a bit nicer than the IMS. I looked at other options such as the IMS (too big) and also looked at buying from Safari in Auss or Just gastanks in the States as that's where we got the DR tanks from. I decided I did not want the IMS for several reasons... the aesthetics and the sloshing effect of half full bigger tanks to name two. I felt the weight of the fuel slosh a little bit on the DR in the rough at times though it wasn't a big problem.
All prices for the Safari one worked out about the same after freight and the uncertainty of taxes at that price so I went to Yamaha NZ where I knew what I was getting and I only have to wait two days instead of two weeks.
Took a lot to get the bike, be fecked if I'm putting a tank I don't really want on it now just because it's cheaper.

Justgastanks charged us about US$70 (or could have been NZ$70?) freight per tank if I recall correctly on the IMS 18.5 Litre tanks way back when.

Maybe better photos my jog memories?
Gentlemen I bought this tank off TM and of course it doesn't fit, is anyone able to Identify it so I am able to sell it with the right details this time.
I only kmow it doesn't fit my 86 XR600R
Details on it are "Acerbis 4601 OrmeniMoto"
Google was unhelpful for once and came up with squat!
Maybe either a Dominator or XL sumfink foreign maybe?
Not an XR 400 500 600 or 650 new or old, maybe a xr350?
First dibs go to who ever Id's it and wants, Choccy fish as well!
Cheers!

[LoC]

How's it. I've got a workmate wondering if you still have this long range tank. He's been looking for one for his XR250 with steel tank
