    Hi,
    i have a 1987 430xc and would like to fit a cr tank to it, I've noticed on the parts fiche that the xc radiator shrouds have a different part number, can the xc shrouds be adapted to the cr tank?
    xc right shroud p/n 15 13 855-01
    cr right shroud p/n 15 13 804-01

    any help would be great,

    DD.

    The right hand side shrouds do look very similar between the 1987 CR,XC & WR. But the Enduro tank appears to be slightly wider and of course taller. I think the main difference is the CR shrouds follow a much straighter line whereas the WR/XR shrouds are curved and actually wrap around near the top of the fuel tank. Also the CR plastics have 115mm of straight edge above the husqvarna ironsight where as the XC/WR plastics have only 100mm. The screw holes under the seat are the same dimensions at 245mm centre to centre so I guess the XC plastic would attach there and at the radiator too, but might look a little strange:confused:?

    the shrouds are different and do not swap between cr and wr/xc. the seat is the same, so when swapping tanks you must move the shrouds along with it or the fit is poor and breakage is likely. tank and shrouds and same between wr/xc.
    squires is correct in that the cr tank is much shorter and a little narrower.

    Thanks for your input guys, it would appear that the cr shourds are NLA and can not even be purchase aftermarket, please correct me if I'm wrong.

    I have both and they look similar, but it ends there
    good luck finding CR parts, thought decent XC or WP parts were tough, these are unobtanium
