    I just was wondering if anyone knows what other bikes have similar mountings or better yet something I can buy....

    Nothing is wrong with the current one but it has a mean paint job so i want something i can put on that it won't matter to much if I have a small untercation with the black stuff....

    And I am looking for something cheapish not like $500 for an origional.

    Shouldn't you be doing some work or uni work or something

    tried the wrecker yards? Atomic have hundreds of tanks..

    have you thought much about the frame and engine? If you biff it bad enough to screw the tank up, it's gonna hit the frame and engine at the same time.. unless you're sticking a stunter cage on it..

    why dont you do what im thinking of doing.... get someone to fabricate you an allumninium tank thats only say 2 or 3L, then just make a fibre glass cover in the shape of your tank. That way all you need is the fuel pump/tap and materials to make the rest.

    Look on ebay otherwise...

    2-3 litres will disappear pretty damn quick on a race track. I can only just get 1 20minute session out of my NC30 and that has a 4 litre tank on it.
