Hi. I'm looking to expand my 4rt fuel tank as much as possible as I have to ride long distances to get to decent riding spots and I enjoy a bit of trail riding too.

I know there is a 4rt long ride seat which holds an extra 2 litres but the beta seat holds an extra 4 litres and if I combine that with a hebo fork tank then my fuel problem is sorted!

However I don't know if the beta seat would be atall compatible. 

Could I make it fit...somehow?

Thanks for any help ? 

 

Shape of the Beta in comparison to the 4RT is different enough that though I am sure you can make it fit I am not sure it would be easy, work well, or look good.  

I did consider getting one for my daughters Beta and could have sized it up on my 4RT if I had but the one I found got sold before I could snag it.  

Hopefully someone else knows if it might be possible...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah that's kind of what I figured. I think my bodged up solution of string and duct tape wouldn't look so good. I'm thinking maybe to get an evo 300 4t, I've read their really nice to ride 

Having used my 4RT to backmark a trial last year whilst carrying a 5 litre container in my backpack (I really had no idea how far I would get so erred on the safe side) I now have a 2 litre black plastic petrol container (from ebay) for this year.  That might work for you?  I need the bag anyway and I'm not a fan of upsetting Honda San's steering arrangements by having liquid slopping round.

FYI: I don't know how far your after going but I can get about 25 Miles (40 Kilometers) on a single tank on my 07 4RT's ~2 litres.  Add a Hebo tank and strap one of these (http://www.happy-trail.com/happy-trails-container-holder.html) to your bikes left side downtube and a 2 liter fuel bottle, then add the Montesa tank and you have your 4 litres...  Just a thought..

It wouldn't siphon strait into the tank from anything but the Hebo tank though...

Outlaw Trial has a nice 3 bottle bag.

Just tagging-on to the ideas/suggestions in this thread... does anyone know if the 4RT long ride seat/fuel tank referred to will fit a 315R?

 

 

 

I have a 4RT seat tank and seen several 315Rs next to me and like the Beta tank on a 4RT it would take some notable modification to make it work and I wouldn't expect it to be worth the time or money. 

I didn't remove my seat and size it up however, so I could be wrong, but the way the 4RT seat mounts I wouldn't expect it to be an easy modification.   

Thanks JonnyC21... I'll try something different by way of a solution.

 

Thanks for the info guys. Lots of good ideas. I have since bought an evo 300 4t. And il order the seat tank plus the hebo fork tank so that's my fuel worries over. Riffraff, I also have a 315 so il check the evo seat to see if it's atall compatible tho the problem is that I won't be back in the UK for a few months 

I took a punt on the generic Jitsie trials seat for my 315 in the hope that it would fit. It does, pretty well too!

Not cheap at £100, but hopefully, worth it in the long run. Obviously, this doesn't address the fuel range issue, but with the addition of a fork mounted reserve and carrying a 2l scooter-type fuel cell in my backpack (£10 off of Evil Day), I should be sorted, with a combined capacity of around 5l.

Bring on the trails!
