I've also wondered how I could utilize that wasted space under the tank where the airbox used to be. ------------------ http://home.earthlink.net/~lordnecrom/gsxr7mini.jpg (http://home.earthlink.net/~lordnecrom/1986gixxer.html) Youth and talent are no match for age and treachery! doug 04-20-2001, 12:45 PM the gas tank was done by a local gas tank repair place should be one near you try the yellow pages would not recommend you try welding on your on gas tank. The mod is a plate acroos the bottom welded on with the inner linner cut out but when you weld on a tank you distroy the lining that is on the metal to stop corrosion so the tank needs to be re coated also when the tank guys clean the tank they normally sandblast the tank in and out which means you loose the paint. Also do not let the guys burn the tank which is another way of cleaning because it will heat the metal and cause distortion then you are in for lots of work to straighten the wavey panels. ------------------ 86 moded one end to the other DRAGON 04-20-2001, 05:22 PM im sorry im still new how big is it? and thats just a stock tail section? ------------------ i suck imported_jeff 04-20-2001, 05:28 PM yeah, i always thought it was a good idea to expand the gas tank that way - never got around to actually getting it done though. it's a fairly big space, without the airbox. how much extra fuel capacity did you gain, doug? ------------------ http://149.123.110.32/misc/bike_small.jpg doug 04-20-2001, 09:41 PM its a 750 at the moment if I can find an 1100 engine at a decent price I will probably swap it the tail is from 1989 gsxr750r which was a limited production race bike not sold in the states used that tail for storage reasons and the looks I like it and there was a mold in town for but the tail is available from airtech as to the gas capacity I put about 22.5 to 23 litres in it today. ------------------ 86 moded one end to the other Diablo187 04-20-2001, 10:30 PM I noticed your in P.Moody! Cool, I live up on the Plateau but you can find me hanging at The Spike or 'Roos most of the time http://forum.gixxer.com/ubb/images/icons/wink.gif Anyways, like I posted earlier, I just got my 86-750 2 weeks ago, its up at my dads shop right now in process of a complete strip-down/rebuild. Any recommendations for wreckers or used parts places I can get stuff? Or places in general? also.. too bad about International and the others.. the Fenton empire has fallen! ------------------ doug 04-21-2001, 01:47 AM I get a lot of stuff from al at performance in north van or scrounge around als # 980 4060 call first hes in the process of moving the shop to burnaby he has the largest selection of anybody for used ------------------ 86 moded one end to the other Diablo187 04-23-2001, 01:17 AM How are Al's prices?? I heard he can be pretty steep with some stuff ------------------ doug 04-23-2001, 12:24 PM his prices are no better or no worse than other bike shops usually a little better but not by a lot he does pay attention to the wholsalers clearance deal sheets has a book of clearout stuff. In general I try to buy from speed shops etc or buy and sell but a lot of times the parts are only avail from a motorcycle shop. Example goodridge brake line in bulk 11.00 to 12.00 per foot same stuff from a speed shop $5.50 ft it is not the bike shops that are gouging it is the wholsalers. The goodridge example shows that because its a bike part lets rip off the bike guys thats why a lot of the wholesalers are going out of business. As for Al he has the most used parts of anybody because he is mostly a one man operation phone first because hes not always there especially now he is moving to burnaby to a lot bigger place ------------------ 86 moded one end to the other Graham 11-19-2001, 12:29 AM Can you post url's for your bike pics?
