    gn250 tank swap

    So i pulled upto another gn250 this morning and it had the usual mods, motorcross handle bars, sr250 seat but i couldnt figure out what the tank was from. I could do with a larger capacity tank on mine, so any suggestions for bigger tanks that will swap straight over?3

    I doubt you'll find anything that just bolts on. The good news is the mount at the front is easy to modify and making a rear mount is a walk in the park.
    I'm considering a late 70's Kawasaki KZ440/650 etc tank for my GN, no idea if it'll fit, but I'll bash the prick till it does.
    I'll take anything though
    The standard GN tank is pretty small

    Surely 12 litres would take it around 300kms?

    I've never run one dry, but my current one is managing 3.6L/100km average while it had a rooted headgasket and rings.
