I dont want that stupid foam either
Is there a way to get maybe a 440 or a 800sxr gas tank in a 750
has anyone tried this?????

 

[tightithrash]

well theres a big diffrence between a 440 tank and an 800sxr tank..........what are you trying to do, ride longer or less weight?

I've used a 440/550 tank in a 750sx with no foam. Glue a couple blocks of foam around the base to keep it from moving around. The 750 straps didn't hold it in place very well by themselves.

My buddy is using something out of a 440/550 that works out pretty well in his 750.

I know what you mean with that retarded foam. Even if it doesn't break up, it will mold very quickly and become really nasty.

I haven't found a good alternative yet but I did chop the stock foam quite a bit to give me a bit more room in the engine bay.

just take the foam out, and run the stock tank with out it. we do it all the time. put a rubber mat, or sheet of hydro turf under it, to help protect the bottom. your straps will be a little long, but will work fine, if you tie a knot in them, to shorten.

Just have a aluminum fuel cell made. Im in process of making one for my SJ right now. I hate that huge 4.8 gallon tank, I never run it full anyway.

how about trying one of those old westcoast fuel tanks for the 550's. they are a tad bit bigger than the stock ones and they may give you a bit more room behind to get your hands in there if need be. (not sure if the hood will clear cuz they were taller)

HEY THANKS EVERYBODY

i think i might try just taking the foam out and tying a knot in the straps with the turf underneath first and see how that rides but the tank is kind of v-shaped so we will see how that goes
THANKS AGAIN
