September 29, 201411 yr Would any of the Alpina model tank and seats fit on a 199A ? I was thinking that if it could be made to work that I could ride it on a dual sport ride.Also any thoughts on if that would be a good or maybe not so good of an idea are welcome.
September 29, 201411 yr Pretty sure the last model Alpina tank will fit ( M212/213) I have a 212 frame I could test my 198 tank on if no one knows for sure.
September 29, 201411 yr I know the M213 tank will fit on a M158 so I would imagine it will fit on a M199A. I don`t think the seat will fit without some modifications to the seat mounts. I am not sure on that as I can`t remember.
September 29, 201411 yr M212 fits M158, and M199 fits M158. So length is good. Only thing I found swapping tanks is the underside clearance to the pipe varies. But the glass tank will take a fair bit before it burns through. LOL! Looks like everyone's asleep over there.
September 30, 201411 yr Author Thanks to all for the feedback.I just bought a 1975/76 Frontera (m152) engine yesterday so I think my new plan is to turn my mk7 pursang into a frontera of sorts. I did have a m92 sherp t with a green and white sammy miller (I think) tank on it.I could never get the gas cap to not leak profusely and it would make my one riding buddy real nervous.It never did go up in flames and I really wish that I would have kept it.
