Would an XR650R tank work? I know of one that may be parted out soon and has a huge acerbis touring tank.

Hi Tony, thanks for the quick reply!!! Here's a link to the one that would fit from acebis:

If that's the tank I would be very interested if the price is o.k. Thanks a lot!!!

Ah, did a little research and it seems the XR650R tank will NOT fit your XR600R. I imagine such tanks are extremely rare in Thailand. Good luck with the hunt!

Thanks, but tweaking is not an option when riding off-road in the jungle, you need to rely 100% on the material, but thank anyway.

I get what you're saying too. On a technical single track where there's hardly any space to turn around I don't want to fiddle around on my bike, everything needs to be bulletproof, whenever we have mechanical problems that's already hassle enough.
