vfr 750 fuel tanks

Since most the posts refer to VFR 800 tanks, anyone try a '95 to '97 750 tank. Thinking is, it is carb related so maybe you don't have to mess with redoing the FI fuel valve/pump stuff. But then maybe you still have to??

Well... Considering the 750 have bodypanels covering the lower part of the tank and the shape is considerably more boxy, I doubt it will fit the frame as nicely as the 800...

My guess is, it would look butt ugly... But it might work...

For me though, I'd rather fix the hole for the pump on the underside than mess with the exterior though, less work, and less chance of messing it up...

In Czech there is a guy who reworked VTR fuel tank from 16 to 24, it´s little more handy, but way to go

i looked at the bottom of a 750vfr tank and it looks much harder to do than that of a 800.. i bought an 800 to do the mod. and have not figured how i am going to get it to fit. i am thinking, lowering the the airbox lid in the rear by 10mm. which i think will allow it to fit and not hinder the air supply in the box

why not put an auxiliary tank under the seat if you need an another gallon? better weight distribution and less hassle? just a suggestion.

I did look at the 750 tank before I went with the 800 tank.
A lot more work to make the 750 tank fit. Even if you consider making the block off plate for the fuel pump opening.
