250-500cc TE tank on WR

[taps]

I know the ims tank fits both the wr and some te bikes, but has anyone ever tried an '05 non-fi te tank on the last of the WR bikes? Seems used WR tanks don't pop up often.

I mounted a 05 TE510 tank on my 2000 WR360. I rigged up an old school "Don Vesco" style clamp mount to adapt the tank to the frame.

That's funny - I had a pic of your bike printed out when I was swapping everything on my '94 wxc to use the '05+ wr stuff. I currently have the same IMS tank you are using, but a smaller tank would be better for 90% of my riding.

For reference, yes, a TE tank will fit a WR. I snagged an '05 te510 tank from ebay to replace my IMS tank, and it fits just fine. I had the shrouds a little funky around the rads when I took this pic, (and I originally chose the location for the rads by using the shroud placement with the IMS tank when I swapped to later radiators). That explains the gap you see in the first pic.

Now I need to wait on my FBF fuel cap to show up. One day I'll swap to the blue/yellow (or actually blue/white) plastics/graphics.
