Supersport gas tanks vs later model K tanks
« on: December 03, 2019, 06:00:48 PM »
Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knows of the later model K7/K8 tanks are the same as supersport tanks, they look pretty similar.

If not how different are they?

I'm trying to source a new tank for my K8 in decent condition and I'm wondering if it's possible to fit a supersport tank as it looks fairly similar.

Thanks

Will likely fit ok but the tanks are very different and might not match up to the seat very well.

I don't see them as similar , I think F is longer, and will hit seat.
 Another difference, they tend to cost twice as much..

I've got a K7 (black) tank in decent condition, needs new paint, petcock might be stolen from it, or missing the important O-ring in the middle of it. If you still have yours, it could transplant? I used this one as my fuel-feed tank for rebuilds until someone here kindly sent me a Motion-Pro fuel bottle (much more convenient!).

After a bit of research yeah it's just over an inch longer so I will have to trim the seat a bit. No problem


I'm more worried about the read mounting rubber thing lining up
