Katana tank

[R1guy]

Can someone confirm this is a 750/1100 tank.

Ive been stockpiling for the Katana track bike and I've suddenly had a niggling feeling it may be a 400 tank....

@johnr?

looks like it to me as the fuel cap is over to the side

Pretty sure the 400 mimics the larger bikes anyhows apart from dimensions

1100 tank measures 195mm from front edge to outside lip of filler

[johnr]

400 tank has an aircraft type filler cap.

650 looks similar but has central filler cap and doesnt have the sidepanel mounting lugs on the tank.

thats a 750/1000/1100 katana tank. quick, put it on your house insurance and lock it in a vault.....

Thanks for the confirmation.

 

If it turned out to be a dud the Katana track bike may have very quickly morfed into a gs using my old gs thou bodywork

theyre still available new if you get lucky and dont mind what colour they come in! i know a couple of folk in the club have gone through the suzuki classic spares route and got brand new tanks for sub 300 quid, which is pretty good whn you see folks paying 250 quid plus for used tanks that neeed paint etc.
