    I was wondering if the 2.3 gal. WR tank #8000H2201 you show on your site will also work on a 2010 TC250?

    I want a bigger tank, but I'm not crazy about the IMS unit. Been there, done that.

    Motorhead.... I was in Bills on Saturday and he had a 2011 partially disassembled ready to try the swap and then I made him put it together so I could try it out. He mentioned then that he wanted to get you an answer, so he will probably do it soon.

    No problem. I'm not in a real bigger hurry, but I do need to get something a little bigger on there. The #8000H2201 tank will most likely do the job. A 2.2 to 2.5 should be just about right.

    The IMS was OK, a little bigger than I need, but I didn't like that it was so hard to get the seat on.

    Bill and I entertained ourselves early this morning with the tank swap question .........................

    [IMG]

    The tank will fit from the TE310 to the 2 stroke ....... WR tank show below (Bill was off to the Chevron station with the TE310 tank)
    .................. HOWEVER

    [IMG]

    After a visit to the gas station it was established that the tanks are the same size [IMG] so the TE tank actually holds about 1/10th gallon less than the WR tank due to space used by the FI.

    Meanwhile something managed to stow away in my truck while we were fooling with gas tanks .....
    Here it is heading for the door .....

    [IMG]

    Sneaking up alongside my truck ( I always wanted to have a truck that cost 20% of my motorcycle )

    [IMG]

    It jumps in ......

    [IMG]

    And it was still there when I got home so I took it into the garage for safekeeping.

    [IMG]

    Yes that is snow on the ground in Eugene Oregon Low of 18 F last night so it may be a day or two before I ride it farther than the end of the block and back. I did start it up just to listen to it purr though ..... very nice.

    Yes its the same size just that the fuel pump tanks up a small area making hold a bit less.

    thats Awesome Bill. Amazing you can do this in an industry that is seemingly rock bottom and dealers closing shop all the time. It is a testimant to your excellent shop and honest dealings. Nice job. [IMG]
