would any other models gas tank fit the f1 i want one that can flip up like on hinges but my tank leaks if i tryto do anything like thatdo any other models have this option thanks.

 

i think you are stuck with the 87-90. they is alot of them on ebay

 

i am doinga rear end conversion and want to make it so the gas tank could flip up as long as i am at it and i think all of theese years leak out of the filler cap but if i cant do it i cant do it right thanks

 

I have heard that F2 and maybe even F3 tanks may fit, the mounting is of course similar, but tank shape may slightly differ. However, I don't know for sure, just hearsay.

 

so they mount just about the same i dont care if the shape is different i am redoing the whole bike i have 2 hurricanes one is gonna be stock and the other to be completly redone new everthing

 

Keep in mind, I don't know if the spacing is different or not. Like, one tank could be longer than the other.

 

any cbr tank that you make to flip up will leak because of the way the tank vents. there is the top vent and a bottom vent. the tank will not leak if it is half full or less or depending on how much of an angle the tank is tilted at.

 

ok i was hoping for like a 45 but if it will leak i will go without it would basicly any model fit if the spacing was good i want the two to look different.
thanks

 

f2/f3 tank spacing is going to be close fore and aft. side to side measurement is almost the same.
keep in mind that gas caps are different. so you may need to rekey the cap.

if you want the tank to flip up, make the tank half full and tilt the tank till it starts to leak. that will give you an idea of how far you can flip up. at 45 degrees it should be okay.

 

ok thanks i will go and see which one i like best this bike is deffinatly a work in progress for this winter thanksfor the help
