bit pricey me thinks, id pay that for a 250 but not the little ones....

now this is a cheap price for that clean tank,   in the usa they would be wanting twice that amount.

YZ 80 tanks are about 3" shorter than the 125C tanks so it wouldn't be suitable for a HL if thats what it is.

Not when i have bought tanks USA, but maybe they see you coming....

Sold for 200..
not much moving at the moment.Had our eye's on four bikes and not one bid.
Jawa speedway tank went for $100  but not much else moving..
I think we may have come down off the wave of 2010 pricing

I am waiting on a bsa b50 slim line alloy Tank from the States, It cost me big bucks and I have sold my other Hi -point Alloy tank for big bucks , and they are worth the money, try and make one see how good it will turn out, I bought a brand neworiginal  Dot Tank from UK $750 delivered.
over the years I have paid $300 to $350 YZ 125 and 250 A tanks, getting hard to get, grab them while you can.

Has anyone had the fuel tank threaded section which accepts the plastic screw in fuel cap made in either aluminium for the yz or steel for the MX Yamahas made ? Or anyone who can make them ? Need to weld one into a steel tank that doesn't presently have a threaded fuel cap and l would prefer not to trash another tank . Any info appreciated .

Yz 125 A Tanks are Alloy., I have one in my shed.

That same cap was used on many models
YZ 80's used them as well as MX 80's which I think were all steel
Shouldn't be too hard to find an old beaten up tank to steal one from.
If your desperate I have an old tank you could steal it from.

Mx80 were like the gt80 and weren't threaded they are just a half turn chrome cab.

But definitely yz80 ty80 were though probably easiest just to get a smashed tank.

Late MX100 is the easiest source of those threaded sections.

If you're converting a tank from a DT trap-door cap to the MX threaded cap, cut the donor MX tank apart first, and then grind the threaded section out of the tank.
It should be possible to get a die-grinder into the filler hole to remove the cap/hinge section from the DT tank without cutting it open.
Then you'd just braze the MX bit in.

I cut a big chunk out of my DT tank before I realised all of this - created a lot of extra work for an inferior job.
