Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

anyone remember the topic in this forum about 6 months ago or so that had the jpeg or whatever of the paint layout for a green cr metal tank, to use if you were painting it? ive searched 2 or 3 times and cant find it. i wanted to use it for my 74 125, i cant remeber if the pic was for a 125 or 250 but i dont think the size of the tank was different? or was it? Thanks if anyone knows what im talking about.

Go to the search function and type "Brushed aluminum look?". Click on the second post by Nathan (fourth one down)
and you are there.

thats it! thanks dogger. i wonder if i could use these dimensions for a 125, i know the 125/250 tanks arent interchangeable, but is this because of different size/shape or mounting location differences? thanks.

The only thing I can tell you about the difference between the 125 and 250 tanks, is the 125 holds 1.6 gal while the
250 holds 1.8. The 125 tank is painted steel and the 250 is polished aluminum.

You will need to consult a "125" guy for more usable info. Anybody out there know the answers?

Sorry, but I outgrew the tiddler class about 40 pounds ago.
