Petrol tank swaps onto gsxf

[VJ]

Hi guys, Ive a gsx600f (well, mostly) thats decided to start weeping at a petrol tank seam, Ive made a temp repair with chemical metal (It is a rat after all lol) but I guess I should change the tank soon.

 

Now if im going to the hassle and expense of getting a new petrol tank, then quite frankly I think the gsx600f tank is ugly as sin, and a slingshot tank would look a lot better on there, has anyone ever attempted such a feat? from what I can work out from photos the rear 2 bolt mounting seems to be the same, the front mounting and every other possible issue im lost on though having never owned a slingy.

 

 

Cheers

I've owned several of both and I see no chance in fitting a Slingshot-tank to a Teapot without making up some tabs. Sure isn't straight forward, I'd say do it

He put a lot of work in, nice looking bike at the end of it all.

Cheers for the replies chaps, Rene, could you describe the front mount of the slingy tank please? My issue is that she's a daily ride so I cant take her off the road for too long,thats some hella impressive work tho g-badg
