oil tank alternatives?

Post by stubbs »

Hey all

I am converting my Xt600 43F to a classic scrambler.
The original oil tank is not really appealing to the eye. Are there any alternatives?

The oil tank is nothing special. You could use any tank as long as it is of the appropriate capacity. A nice cylinder tank in the same position could be nice. An alternative might be the tank from a TT600, it fits in the space the battery box takes up on the XT. Of course you would have to ditch the battery but the XT is a kicker so you can just use a capacitor.
