Fuel tanks
01/15/19 1:38 PM

Hi
I'm in the process of collecting spare fairings and a fuel tank so I can change the color of my bike.
Are all gen 1 fuel tanks all the same? My bike is a 2008 the tank I've found is 2006
Cheers Dave

Any year 14 pump will work with any year tank, as will any year tank will fit any year 14 frame.

The California models will have a third nipple on the back. That's the only dif I know of.

The 2012-present Gen 2 tank is the same size as 06-11?

So does all my family! Ex-pat here. I don’t mind to ship if your open to that. It’ll be pricey but cheaper than buying a new tank. PM me if interested.
