    New fuel tank's 250R 85-86

    I just wanted to let every one know that, Clarke mfg now has new factory size fuel tank's for 85 -86R s. I am sure most of you already know this. But I have been looking for a white tank for my 86R. And one of the members told me to check them out and I did, They have them in every color. And they look really nice. I will keep you guy's posted when I get it ,with pictures and how it fits. Thanks for the help,Keep wheelin, and HAPPY NEW YEAR.......

    Clarke Should have an ebay account to sell these (Like Cal ATV)....They would sell like hot cakes for them....I am positive many people do not know they manufacture them...Someone needs to tell them to open an ebay store
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    I'd like to see what the black ones look like. I've been wondering if it's a high gloss black like Maier's plastic or the satin type black like the Honda tanks.

    I got my new Clarke tank today. It has about the same finish as the honda tanks that are still available. Shiney, but not as shiney as the Maier plastic. Also, if your considering a white tank, be advised that it is NOT the same shade of white as the Maier shrouds. Not too bad looking, but if your a perfectionist like me, it will annoy you.

    As far as the quality of the tank, top notch! All the mounting hardware and gas cap were included. Just add your pet-cock and go. Also it's a little lighter than the stocker!

    Post pics later.

    Once you get it dirty you'll never know. And honestly i don't think its that far off a match.

    Easiest way around that is to use a contrasting color for the shrouds. A mismatch is hard to see when the two colors aren't right next to each other. Using the same color shrouds as the color on your seat for example.
