Squirtster Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hey dudes, I would like to know if the fuel tank from a 97-98 XX can be adapted to a 99-04 model. I know the newer tank is 2 litres larger, but will the fuel pump adapt and can I make it work as I keep finding the early tanks, but none for the FI bikes. Oh, and are the stock cans all the same from 97 to 04? Thanks Fellahs! :headscratch: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirtster Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Well Rock, I'm kinda looking for a cheap tank, but all I have found lately are the 97-98 ones. Trying a new job, so my funds are quite limited and I bought a theft recovery bike. I recieved a pm from a member with one with only one small dent and no paint damage. Maybe I'll get that one, fill it with dried peas, then add water and let it set over night. Whadda ya think? :idea: Still no word on my canisters if they are all the same or not though. THX for the info!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirtster Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Just got off eBay, still no tank :sad: But I did see something awesome. A 2000 Titanium in NY state, polished wls, vfr800 bars, etc. Perfect with 7900 miles for $2900 ending tomorrow afternoon.....SWEEEEEEEET!!! :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krypt Keeper Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Something must be wrong with it if they only want $2900 for it.. :shock: Sounds like a scam to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 They are probably in Europe and they'll promise to send it over, you just have to pay for shipping in advance...blah blah blah :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirtster Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Yep, still no return Email. Guess they think I'll just paypal the full amount and sit around with my thumb up my butt waiting for a truck. Still a pretty bike though......

Phalanx7.62 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I think that one you speak of is in Canada, eh? I saw it and thought it was a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirtster Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 Nope, NY state, and I turned him in to eBay. All I got was a small TY note, and a questionaire on how they can better serve me. I told them to offer a reward, but haven't gotten a reply. :???: By the way, did you used to hang out at the BBS Phalanx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuey Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hi Squirtster, The answer to your cans question is, No the cans on the later models (xx1, xx2, xx3 and xx4) have Cats fitted so are not the same. The way to tell is; the first part of the can where it fits to the collector box is significantly larger in the bore. This is true in the UK, but I reserve the right to be wrong for the rest of the world. Stuey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickcbr1100 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 and...on UK bikes the later pipes with the cats will fit earlier models, they are the same diameter at the collector box point, the large diameter cat bulge is after the joint. Wouldn't like to put them on a pre cat bike though :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
