FE/FC Desert tank for fc450?

Does anyone know when/if a 3 gallon or so tank is available for the fc 450 yet? Who's making the factory guys' tanks??

Thank you! I'll probably give them a call and do a little more snooping of my own!

nobody gets it......reality check on the cost for XYZ to design, build a mold and manufacture an oversize tank for a bike like the FC450......to sell 30 of them, numbers dont add up.... WR450 Yamaha, CRF450X Honda different story. make sense?
Our bikes are on the mix and match side of things, XC chassis with Hberg plastic and more so although common with KTM they are seperate small brand layouts. XYZ probably will eventually build tanks....when the numbers start to make sense along with the demand.
As well as sometimes the cost to the mfgr is offset by some of the teams funding the R&D and mold costs to satisfy their race team demands/needs.

last time i checked the entire op was a 20-25k venture, you need to sell alot of tanks to get good roi on that production run. PS this was for a complete custom job, low production run.

I planned on buying a TE tank off a 2013 Husaberg from bergparts.com I'm pretty positive that it would fit as all the plastics say Husaberg on them.

if you don't want to mount the 4.1 that I've used just use the 3 gl made for the KTM from Acerbis. You will have to run KTM tank shrouds however.

You could run an OEM FE501 tank. It will give you about half a gallon more than the stock tank on your FC450. It would also give you a slim feel and use your existing shrouds. Should bolt up with no issues.

IMS products is getting close to having a bigger tank! They where testing it in BAJA ON Alex Smiths bike

they have a 3.1 out now for sale. It looks really weird though. It uses the OEM shrouds but they are mounted at a really weird angle... Or is it an optical illusion?
