Having just bought an ST the R100r tank fitted is annoying me. Can anybody tell me what tanks will fit and not look so fat. If anybody's got a tank that will fit and wants to sell, swap or trade I'm very interested and will travel. Regards Martin
The only tank that "fits" the ST is the ST Tank which was also used on the later R80GS Basic, (The GS 80 Basic was a "parts bin" Bike and BMW used up there ST Tanks ..... the ST was not popular when it was released) ....... the R80G/S tank will also fit and look "normal", but the filler caps are different ....... you can use a R45/R65 Tank, but it looks awful, maybe not so awful by today's designs .. so that could be an option
I had three ST's plus quite a few "spares" ...... at a time when they were not popular, (not really known) ...... I still have two ST Tanks, in less than good condition ......
both need work ... I have had a few PM's about them .... I will reply to them all ...... I need to take current images, especially of the faults, and put details on here .. no idea what they are worth ......... but they are now worth having repaired, repainted, especially if you need one for a R80GS Basic.
I am quite happy to sell them as I will never need them, but they are with me in France and I will not be back in Winchester until sometime in October.
This GS Basic, G/S following is getting crazy, having a look at EBay, a G/S Tank albeit very good is advertised for £600
R45 + R80ST Tank
R45 + R80ST Tank
ST - Tank - from a Bike I sold about 8 years ago, £2,500 I think - I wonder where it is now?
