    I have taken out my factory under seat tank and want to install a rear poly tank. I have cut the braces for the drawbar out and soon will be ready to set the new tank. Any ideas on which model tank and how many gallons I should be looking for? Thanks.

    can only get 1978 and later fill necks (1" neck on the tank) from the aftermarket.

    So this is a question along the same subject line. How far away from the rear crossmember is the tank after this conversion? I ask because I'm giving considerable thought to doing a rear tank on the 2A and they are about 4" shorter behind the rear wheels than an ECJ5/6.

    Not 4". Skid plate that holds mine in place is bolted to the rear crossmember and it hugs the tank pretty tightly.

    I have to lop the ends of any drawbar that I use in the receiver -- it's that tight.
