hey im building a 2006 yamaha r6 (50th) and im looking to put a new tank on. id like to use a different tank to eliminate the tank fairing and have a single solid tank. does anyone know if i have options or if im stuck with stock. its going to be dented and im more than willing to mod things to make it work. please let me know if you know or have tried something or if im sutck with stock tanks only.
thanks mike

 

I molded my stock fairing after I dented my tank.

dent the metal part of the stock tank,then mold plastic tank cover with a heat gun to the shape of the dent you just made.just like on an 04 600rr.

 

I don't think they have a tank shroud. Aren't they just a front shroud like the Gixxers?

 

I don't know,I was guessin and tryin to sound clever at the same time.I thought they had a plastic cover over the tank.whoops ha haaa

 

theres a german/holland guy that rides nothing but the new r6 hes got some nasty bikes with a tank just like your talking about soon as i get the link ill post it but i gotta get back to my comp not my buddies..

 

hey thanks. yeah i have the stock tank dented but with that small front intake cover in front of the tank it looks horrible. and molding it would be a bitch since its just a small shroud. ill keep my eyes to the page and ears open. also thanks for the link when you post it.

 

his names Andreas.. check out his R6 tanks http://www.andreasgustafsson.com

 

You cant really put another tank on the bike because the air box isnt going to fit under the bike. You just have to live with what ever dent you can make. Same goes for the newer gsxr's too. I sell a tank pad that you can glue onto the bike to give you a better back lip.

so basically im going to have to dent it, then mold my plastic shreoud to my tank? maybe some heat and cats fiber? ill have to see what i can come up with. i have a dented tank now i just dont quite like the dent. its more for sitting and not for standing... but i do love tank wheelies

 

Hey man I own C4-revolutions and this is what I did with my new bike tank.
I would not mold the plastic to the mettle It never works. It always cracks. Just do a good dent and leave the cover alone.

 

hey thanks. ill have to look into thjat. that looks shapr man

 

I dented my buddies bike thats the same as your an it looks sweet..
ill try an post some pics.

 

this was in 07.... the bike is pretty sick now.
