CRF 450 Tank

Post by mike hunt »

Hey guys i would like to put a larger tank on my af. The stock 450 tank is not big enough. A four hour harescramble and the stock tank don't mix. How much of a pain in the ass will this be. Thanks for any help Yours Truly Mike :wink:

Look for an oversize tank from Acerbis, IMS and/or Clarke that fits your frame Gen-wise. If you can live with shrouds that are part of the tank you can go quite big. You'll need relieve the bottom with a heat gun as necessary.

I realized you would have to heat the tank as usual. I don't see alot of home conversions running a bigger tank. Just wanted to make sure of no major issues before spending several hundred. Thanks for the info i appreciate it.
