Title: 1986 87 Mono Fuel tank.
Post by: Semper Gumby on December 12, 2009, 06:06:58 PM

Todays dumb questions:

How much gas does the 1986-87 mono fuel tank hold?

Will it fit on my 1980?

I like the looks of the double petcock tanks better than my single holster version...

The specifications I found for an '86 R65 mono, was 5.81US gallons, maybe slightly more than a twin shock fuel tank .

It won't fit without modifications.  If you do some searching we had a member that had a dual shock with one of the bigger bike's tanks who did a little posting...
