Title: kx500 slim tank
Post by: afritts4u on November 08, 2004, 10:20:47 AM

I want my kx500 to have the same seat/tank profile as the "Green Monster" in the gallery.  Can anyone give details about the 250 conversion. I Like to "hump the tank" when I set up for turns and find this difficult with the stock set up. The Jadoul Motosports/Belgium reference can not be found.

Very sensitive, easy to get "cracks".

Ask Folke who owned that bike!

This is a "showroom" gastank,not for serious MX. :wink:

Did not get that tank, going with the zip ty.  I just moved from a 250 and realized I need about double the gas to go the same distance. Duh. That tank does look cool though.

Good choice! I still can't get over the size of the Ty Davis kit. I'm pretty d**n happy with the origional tank on the KX, so I am keeping to that, but I did very much consider the small tank.
