June 2, 201016 yr The TY80 big-wheel fuel tank is too long for a TY175 unless you shorten the seat or move it back. I haven't tried a small-wheel TY80 tank on a TY175. I just re-read your post and because you said "gas" tank I figure you may not know what a big-wheel TY80 is. The TY80s sold in the US are small-wheel models. Edited June 2, 201016 yr by feetupfun
June 2, 201016 yr Author I forgot that these post go world wide. So will a USA model ty80 tank fit on a USA model ty175? It looks to be the right length but is narrower any one tried it? I hate to buy one from feabay and not have it fit without to much work with the welder. Scott
June 2, 201016 yr Here is my TY175 the way I got it .....with a TY80 gas tank. Still have both - I have gone to a bigger tank so I could make it around a complete Trial Round. Alan
June 3, 201016 yr Author Thanks Alan_NC that what I needed to know. It look like it will give me more room to raise the engine and pipe. Now where did I put the welder? Scott
June 3, 201016 yr Here is what it looks like now. Think the tank is from a Yamaha 75/76 MX125, it bolted right in place with no cutting. Alan
