Does anyone know if the petrol tank from a bandit is compatable with a sv 650?

A TL1000S is close, just 'small' mods that needs to be done, small if you can do some welding or make nice brackets.

Oh and I forgot, the fuelpump flange needs a plate where you make some adapters for the sv's fuel level sensors and fuelvalve thingy (petcock?).

This

The Bandit tank rests on the top of the frame with 2 bolts holding it at the rear. Just had ample experience with a bandits electrics and bodywork.

I think SRAD tanks might work, someone has had a shot at it in past

Can't find a decent curvy tank that isnt either Stupidly priced or has the same rotton internals as mine

If yours is in otherwise good condition there are places that will sort that out for you. A search on here might find the answer.

To be fair the Curvy and Bandit tank of the same era are similar designs from what I remember. I base this on buying many years ago a Bandit tank that had been advertised as an SV tank on eBay. The seller noticed after and the transaction was canceled so I never actually got my hands on the tank to be sure of the differences. Anyway...

What do you call stupidly priced and what sort of criteria have you got on condition and color?

I'm looking for a black one ideally, my tank I have now was just resprayed so it's in otherwise all good. If anyone knows a repair place. Ideally I don't really want to spend much more that 120
