It is a Clarke tank. It came with the 250sx I bought, but doesn't fit at all. The guy I bought it from thought the trike was a 200x, so if he bought the tank then it might be for a 200x.

I will repeat it one more time. It is a 83-84 250r Clarke desert Tank. they are plastic like every single Clarke tank ever made.

Outtaline, you must be drinking again cause you confused me. You know us Texans are slow.


If you look at the third pic you can see a notch out for the pipe. So it is for a 2 stroke left hand side pipe. it could be the 81-82 but where it is positioned i will say 83-84

no you don't ...... you may verry well have a clarke tank on your 200x but it dosen't look like this one unless it is attached with duct tapetrailpro
Look at the way the tank mounts in the back by the seat a 200x has a C that wraps around the frame with 2 mount bolts .... This tank mounts in the middle Air cooled R....

So those R tanks didn't have any kind of scoops?

I don't believe that clarke made a tank that you could bolt scoops too. They did make a 200x tank that looks like the stock model and a extra capacity.

I have both 83-84 250r's and a 86 200x and the metal stock tanks look identical, I would not be surprised if it fits both. If you want to sell it let me know.

It doesn't fit the '85 250sx I have and it also doesn't seem to fit proprely on a '84 200M, just for reference. It's not much use to me so if I can sell it to then get a 250sx tank then I will.

Desert tanks do not have scoops. they use the area for extra fuel capacity. this tank was designed for the 83-84 250r. It could fit other models, alot of tanks interchange. But that isnt what it is designed for. The clarke 200x desert tank was similiar with out the cutout for the pipe. It could bolt on a 200x but in my opinion it would look goofy.

But each different tank has a different generic pic. It's not the same for each different listing.
