Aftermarket fuel tank
Has any of you guys ever installed a aftermarket fuel tank on your 97 vs1400? I’m in the market for one. Everything I find is not an exact fit and will take some modification which I’m fine with but just figured I’d see if anyone has any recommendations. I pretty much ruined my tank with tank sealer. I made a post last week about it. This is an amazing forum. Iv already learned so much from just reading throat the post. Any info is appreciated.

Re: Aftermarket fuel tank
You can resurrect your stock tank by placing a length of peerless sash chain in it and wrapping it in a blanket. place it in the dryer with no heat and let her tumble.
the chain should remove loose sealant and rust. the redo the sealer.

I thought about something like that. Never thought of the dryer though. Thanks for the idea. I might just might take a shot at it

If you don't have any luck with that you could take it to a radiator repair shop and have them refurbish it.

That’s good to know too. Would have never thought of that. Thanks

I have had tremendously wonderful results from using evaporust. Dunno if anyone else can vouch for it, but i now love it.

Re: Aftermarket fuel tank
I had never heard of evaporust so I did some research on it and came across this video.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.
