I was checking out CycleGear yesterday to get some ideas. Sucks about the XT sealed ends on the bars though.

I have been checking Ebay for an Acerbis tank and they are either not available or they are too expensive elsewhere online.

Has anyone mounted a Clarke gastank successfully? I found an aftermarket tank for around $180 in Oregon (new) but it fits the same year TT600. I'm wondering if it would fit my '93 XT. Anyone have any experience with Clarkes?

I have a 90 XT600 I bought new and just put a Acerbis 20L tank on it fits good, I see WHOREPEDO has one on His by the picture He posted, Purchased at justgastanks.com it will take 90 days to receive unless He has one in stock, No I don't think the clark will fit

I got lucky... my buddy bought his XT with the acerbis on it and didnt want it. I swapped him my metal tank + $100.

nice, yea mine came with one on it so I am pretty glad about that cause I am not sure if I would have dropped the money to get one

[CR_TurboGuy]

Wow, that's not a bad price. I think I paid almost $325 for mine unused on eBay.

Lucky. Yeah, I can't afford to drop $500 on an Acerbis tank right now. As a matter of fact I think I'm going to be forced to sell my '93 this week. Very sad.

its a 92 with only 11,000 km,i have it on ebay for sale ,looking at getting a klr here to match my other klr in colombia

I live in Gunnison, CO and when I was driving around today I saw a stock 1990 XT 600 in decent shape for sale at a gas station for $1750. I can put some pics of it up if anyone is interested in it.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I just sold the XT yesterday so I won't be needing the tank but I'll pass the info. along to him. I can't wait to get another XT hopefully in about 6 months. Keep sharing the info. on here because it is a great resource for the XT owners.

I'm not interested in it but that seems like a decent price depending on whether it runs good etc. I just sold my '93, basically stock although repainted plastics (black) with about 11,700 miles for $1500. Needs front fork seals and the speedo quit but I think my price was pretty fair.
