what other Suzuki tanks will fit an 02?

Hey guys, I'm trying to get all the needed parts together so I can start riding once I heal. Finding gas tanks is a little difficult. Is it possible to fit another tank from suzuki to my 02?

yep, any gs tank will work. But , I would stick with a newer tank on your 02. The pre 01 tanks would look outdated....

Right, but can I use one from a GSXR or SV? I also want to have the bigger capacity of the 01+

The pre-'01 tanks will bolt up, but the seat won't match correctly.

No.

GS500 tanks from 2001 to 2006 will work.

Thanks.

So how much do the vinyl stickers cost?

TragicImage · August 15, 2006, 05:41:57 PM

It's under the clearcoat.

Crap! So how much should a paint job cost to get it back to stock look?

TragicImage · August 15, 2006, 05:50:55 PM

well... the one I saw was bright yellow....

So, you'd of wanted to paint it anyways.... if you sand it yourself... probably 60 bucks or so???

Aerospike · August 15, 2006, 05:55:18 PM

Alright. Thanks guys, I'll see if I can get the dent on mine pulled and repaint it

Pssst.....I bought it

I guess a big problem with dented tanks is rust on the inside. Right?

Correction: the tank I bought was black.

Here is the one.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4597484025&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT I've been watching this tank for about 2 months.

Just because it is dented on the outside does not mean it is rusted on the inside.
