Is there a stand year for the tank? And the petcock im not sure as to why you are using a new one? Or is there two? Haha confused newbie here.. Haha I'm very interested in this mod for mine

gypsypit and spasm3, I'm sorry for just seeing this now. I haven't been back here, even though I owe this board a lot for helping me through my mods. Sorry gz250.com!

It's a harley P Nut tank, holds 2.2. The bigger ones look way too big for the bike. With a free flowing air cleaner and straight pipes, I just make sure I stop for gas every hour.

As for the year, not really. The petcock, it's what came with the tank when I bought it and I'm not sure that the old one will fit, unless cut the opening to fit it. Didn't want to go through that trouble. I just got a set of plugs from the auto store and called it a day. It's really easy! Let me know if you have questions, I'll try to help you out as best as I can.

I just did this to mine. Be careful if you buy an aftermarket petcock for the sporty tank. Mine flow straight down. to keep it from toching the motor I had to grind off 2 tabs that hold the stock tank and with that I had to extend my p clamps. Just thought I'd share. This how to is spot on! thanks to Kcarvajal for taking the time. You saved me hours im sure
