XT600 acerbis tank?

Hi
Can anyone recommend the acerbis tank for the XT? (Mines a 92 model) Are there any other options for larger tanks? And how much do they cost - I have checked their website but couldn`t find any prices??
Thanks.

re tanks

what's up doc??? sorry, couldn't help myself.

Acerbis make a tank for your bike (fit's 91 - 94 i think). Price all depends on your location and currency, obviously, but here in Australia I was quoted around $600 or $700 plus a 3 month wait to get one for my '94.

Clarke (think that's how it's spelt) also make a tank, but I think they might be an Aus company, which is prolly why they're a bit on the cheaper side for me.

Best & cheapest option is prolly just to scope out ebay untill one pops up. they'll go between $50 - $200 generally.

good luck with the hunt!

I have a 1993 XT600E and paid Singapore $360 (inclusive of sales tax about 1.5 years ago) for the 20L tank, bought from Acerbis agent there but 6 months wait. I don't live there now but will save you abit if you know someone there. Cheers.

Hi,

Anyone know of a good source for a larger tank for a 2003 model. The current/standard one is about 5 litres too small for my liking.
