Ben Slabby Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 You mean shape/ capacity? 1 Quote Link to comment
Wescooley19 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 The 86 1100 slabby had a flatter tank similar to the 85-86 750, changed to the humpier style in 1987. 2 Quote Link to comment

Wescooley19 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Strange, but they're both listed as holding 19ltrs despite being different! 1 Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 So the early 1100 tank looks like a 750 tank. Were they 750 tanks I can't see much difference ?This one is supposed to be 1100 what do you think. Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 I know this one is a later slabby 1100 one. Quote Link to comment

suzukipojken86 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Found this on Eblag,to Gsx-r1100-86. I have this shape on my tank 750-85 and it was also apparantly availabel to the 1100-86.750 and 1100 had not the same tank, the differences are the hole to the fuel tap.

markfoggy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 ^This tank is Important.That is the only tank ever manufactured by a Japanese company to reflect what it needs to win the Suzuka 8Hr. You'll see it on Kit HRC sfuf, but that never got to the road bikes. Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 That one is a bit expensive though. Quote Link to comment
markfoggy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 .BTW the only reason why they have that lift chamber at the front is because of fuel surge and expansion. We're now racing 30 yr old bikes, guess what, we've not changed the laws of physics.I like this tankI've got a ball valve in the tank boss, plus an inline one in the Orange across to a bottle that will vacuum backj! Mark/Foggy is now accepting that Suzuki were probably right. I'm gonna have to build a surge chamber into the breather area of our tanks.That would be fine, unless Phase One Endurance could be better than SERT. Quote Link to comment
markfoggy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Sorry for posting those photos, I've made a bad mistake.One of the Clic-M-s fasteners in those photos is the wrong way around. Quote Link to comment
Leblowski Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I know this one is a later slabby 1100 one.That model tank was available on 750 en 1100 slabbys on the late models Quote Link to comment
