I'm sort of at a crossroads with my build. I've had several starts and stops and the idea continues to evolve in my mind. I know people keep asking about interchangeable tanks and what will work. My question is the same basically but I'm thinking beyond modding a sportster tank or different XS tank. I want to know if anybody has tried different dirt-bike/enduro tanks from the 60's, 70's and early 80's. I've seen some cool Husqvarna tanks used in different applications but not on a 400.
I also really like the Yamaha Enduro tanks. Does anybody have anything like these laying around and could sort of show me how they fit or look? Just an idea as I don't have access to anything and the local junkyard charges $100 for trashed tanks and I'm afraid what they charge for a decent tank.
I wouldn't mind adventuring a little bit with fabricating or modding the tank a little to make it fit but I don't want to mess with the frame at all. I really want a screw on gas cap!
