Is the rear end of the frame the same? One difference is the extra support on the right side up to the top frame, same as the 3TB have on the right side. Is the mounting for tank same and have the same distance front/rear?

I would just need it to fit the frame and match up to the seat fairly well. I do not run the side panels or air box. THUMPTHUMP

Honestly with your setup i think its no problem, the seat on the 4TP is much higher in front. Worst case get a cheap 4PT seat and you know it all fit.

I have only seen 1 95 and up seat for sale in the last 2 years . Its in Europe and shipping doubles the fairly high price. Since they did not sell any here they would all be from Europe. Heck I run a large wolfman tank bag. It covers the front of the seat. As long as the length of the tank is the same it could work out . Would any body with a 95 and up tank measure from the rear mount 10mm hole to the center of the rubber covered side knobs that the tank slides over? The frame. THUMPTHUMP

Yes i know its really difficult to find used parts for the 4PT, on the 3TB its 32cm from front mount to rear tank mount, and its 26cm from front mount to middle of front seat upper part.Or about 6cm from back mount to seat middle upper part.

Thanks XTROCK, I have the 3tb and it matches yours except the 6cm . I have not matched that one. Perhaps I miss understood the reference points. Now I need those measurements from the 95-and up xt600. Or better yet some one with both bikes. Will your 95 tank fit the 90 bike? THUMPTHUMP

Jens is the man for this job! I wonder how the 4pt rear fender top is mounted, only by the handles?

THUMPTHUMPTHUMP 17 Oct 2014 02:55

I talked with the just gas tanks people. They didn't know anything. They did not have one to measure. They called Acerbus to ask them to measure and the lazy basterds would not do it and just said it would not fit, too many differences. I just wanted a measurement to see if it would bolt onto the frame. So my only alternative is someone out there. Any one have a 95 and up to measure or better yet a 90-94 and a95 and up to see if it would fit? THUMPTHUMP

THUMPTHUMPTHUMP 17 Oct 2014 03:40

I found a seat for the 95 and up in Italy. $120.00 for the seat in rough condition but shipping is $198.. An example of the shipping cost more than the product. That's why I need a domestic vender. If the 95 and up tank would fit , its $256 with free shipping.THUMPTHUMP

I've got a 3tb bike that im flipping, so I can compare a 1990-1995 model, to a 1996-2003 model.... :scooter:

But work takes the majority of my spare time (dont it always) theese days, give me a couple of days, and I'll take pictures of seats and gastanks.

THUMPTHUMPTHUMP 17 Oct 2014 23:06

Sounds Great! Can't wait, well I guess I'll have to. Thanks, Jens THUMPTHUMP

Excellent research xtrock. The tank will bolt on. Next is how bad is the 90 seat fit with the 96 tank? Maybe Jens will find out. THUMPTHUMP

I dont see any problem fitting the seat, i would think it wil become a gap between tank and seat. Bacardi knows, send him a message.
