Small gas tank fix idea's ?

[Vmax540]

Many of the 80's and early 90's Yamaha's suffered from small gas tank's. I've thought how nice it would be for someone to manufacture a plastic wedge shaped seat riser with a small ~2 gallon reserve tank under the seat using the same principle as the Tour Buddy and kill 2 problems with one stone! It could be filled from the rear storage ? The Exciter, Phazer, Srv, Vmax540, Vmax 5-600 and especially the Vmax4 guys would all jump on buying one ! Anyone have connections ?

Sort like this Kolpin tank #33-76 from http://www.denniskirk.com/ only in a wedge shape !

sleds you listed(except the vm8.) had only like 8.5's..

(Yea but some of the other 3 mfg'ers were using 12gal tanks) ,

(actually 8.2 gallons Exc/Phz and a pathetic 6.3gal. on the Vmax540 and SRV)

i just carry a 2.5 gal can on the back of mine. That gives me just over 10 gal.
