FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

I was just wondering what's the difference between the YZF and R6 tanks, and is it possible to swap a R6 tank?

R6 tank will not work at all. It wont even line up right. YZF is the only one and its an easy swap.

Thanks. Guess I can stop watching this ebay auction. would've worked out great - right color and all.

What is the reason behind changing the tank? Bigger, plastic? Just curious.

FZR1000 tank will work too as I recall.

Biggest reason is usually looks. The FZR tank cover isn't the most modern looking. The YZF is also metal so it feels a little more stable between the knees. Tanks size is about the same as I recall. And he's planning on doing a different tail which usually means a different seat which in turn means you'd have a big hole in the fzr cover that you would have to hide since the new seat won't cover it.
