Can I fit a KLR650 fuel tank in a KLR250?

I really need more fuel autonomy, the ims plastic tank isn't a solution... just 1 more liter... too many dollars.

modify the stock one... to expensive, more than 200 usd here in chile

just 3 options left... auxiliary tanks (not cheap, not big), coke bottles or try to fit a klr650 on my klr 250... is this posible???


or if you have another solution, I will appresiate that.


thanks for your help

Upload some pics (bike, with the tank off, and saddle on, and underside of tank). I'll compare it to my KLR650 C5 and tell you if there are any obvious incompatibilities..

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
