Gen 4 Tank & Shrouds On Gen 3 Bike?
Gen 4 Tank & Shrouds On Gen 3 Bike?
I was wondering if a guy could use a gen 4 tank and shrouds on a gen 3 bike? I like the sharper look of the gen 4 shrouds + it would look newer.
This looks better:

Thanks!

No, It looks like SH!T! DON"T DO IT! (just joking)
I think a better question is, is it possible to fit the Gen3 tank and shrouds onto the Gen4 for better tank / spark plug and water outlet clearance.
Then there would be no need to modify the gas tank.

gen3 wont fit on gen 4 and the other way arround
the gen3 tank hangs over the sub mount and shock mount, directly in the way when trying to use it on a gen4, and it would be 1/2" or more too wide. we looked at this lastwinter for nicks gen4 +my gen3

Ok, gotcha. After reading it again and more carefully he said CR250R (2-stroke) is the same as the gen 3 CRF plastics. At any rate I don't care for the gen 3 shrouds so thats why the thread got started. I guess its a no-go, so I will look into buying a gen 4 bike.
I was just wondering because I can pickup several different gen 3 (4 strokes) for next to nothing, but I will keep looking for a '05 or newer gen 4.
Thanks!
