No, I won't put anything in it except for some race gas :-D
But I'll know how much approx that it will hold.
Jason hand lapped all mounting surfaces on the cases and performed all of KX Guru Racing case mods to improve lubrication... 8-)
Just need a trip through the vapor blaster and oven and they will be ready for assembly..

Hit the Bormi web site and after mining their site found the gas tank gallery.

They make a lot of nice parts! The KX and CR tanks don't really look bigger to me but they sure are pretty.

I'm not sure I could do an aluminum tank. That first dent would be hard to take.
Foxx4Beaver:
Dents/punctures aren't really a big deal with aluminum/metal tanks...a skilled metal worker can smooth dents out like new. There's a guy out on Cape Cod that specializes in metal motorcycle tank repair, his work is flawless...you think you're just being handed a brand new tank.

One thing I noticed about this picture is the bend at the front top. It looks like introduced stress and a good place for a crack to form at the weld. I hope that is not the case.
