Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Wanted: 89 kx250 tank
riproost:
Keep diggin' bilger69 and you will find one.
Been looking for a while myself. I just scored one last week for a build I've got going on. I had to buy the whole turd just for the tank :-o. Not alot of money but the seller was advertising it to need only a motor :?. Looks ten times worse in person and I was ashamed to even load it in the truck and drive home!
How bout the drum brake and makeshift swingarm bolt that did not go all the way thru.
1989 250 tank on top...K5 tank below that.
The pics of the K5 tank do not have the tank mount bolts in and it slid down so actually the K5 tank still sits a tad taller at the top than what the pics show for comparison.
I only ride woods, tight single track with various changing conditions(hills, rock, creek, logs) and a lil MX. I'm with you in thinking a tall seat foam with the 1989 250 tank is the way to go!!!
Keep Lookin! It's out there somewhere!

Thanks alot for the comparison pictures rip roost! And for the encouragement. You are one lucky guy I searched all last night on ebay, google, for tanks and complete bikes. With no luck. What a treasure hunt! The tank in the picture I posted is different than yours and I would live with either one. It just makes me wonder what tank was on that kx5 I posted in this thread. Thanks again!

Hmmm maybe I'm goin nuts maybe it is the same tank :?
bilger69:
Shoulda bought the one from husky333. He already sold it. :cry:

Looks like I may have to buy this one. I THINK this is it. 539 US Dollars though! That's a lot of money. It's an alloy one that husky333 was talking about. Just worried about denting it.
