'99 VTR1000F tank
Hi people,
Just got to say, great site. Found a lot of useful information both cosmetic and performance wise. Just ordered a BMC air filter along with a Factory Pro config 30 jet kit. Gonna be sweet. Later, heading for devil slip-ons.
My question:
Will a newer model VTR tank (2001+, i think), fit my '99 VTR? I know at some point that the tank increased in size but I can't remember what year. So, is it possible?
Thanks

Welcome aboard!
The US tanks stayed the same size throughout the SuperHawk's run. I don't know about CDN-spec VTRs. The UK VTRs received an upgrade (one or two more liters...sorry, litres ) in 2001.

Right on,
I have the firestorm model, the one with the smaller tank. So there is a good chance that a newer tank will work on my '99. A one with more litre capacity.

Yes you are right they do fit. I think 2002 models got the 19l tank. Very popular mod in Australia, so almost impossible to get a second hand one. I gave up and bought a new one.
Outside of the tank is the same, the underside is a different shape, giving the larger capacity.

Dunno who Shaggy is......
My info is that the airbox is the same. I am yet to re-assemble the bike so we shall see for sure when that happens, but for the moment looks ok to me.
