Re: MM fuel tank
If you cannot get a 5 gall.tank then a 6.5 gall. 1098 tank will fit. You may find that the fuel pipe connection into the tank is a different thread but I solved that problem by cutting the pipes and joining them with a length of flexible fuel line. You will also need the 1098 spare wheel clamp bracket.
