KLR650 Tank Swap
Hi, does anybody know if I can fit a Tengai ( B Model ) tank to my 1987 A Model KLR ? I know the fairing panels etc won't fit but all I need is a usable tank coz mine is well & truly wrecked now - unrepairable.

TIA - Shaky

Lol, they were the first people I rang m8, I used to own a ZZR1100 until it got nicked a couple of years ago & I used them all the time for spares. They didn't know at all, in fact I had to tell the guy there that the A model & Tengai tanks were different coz they didn't know that !!! I was well surprised coz they're usually shit-hot on anything Kwakker based.

Thanks anyway m8, I decided to "Bite the Bullet" & buy a Brand New Tengai Tank off eBay, can't go wrong at £68 inc postage
