Weldangrind definitely has a good eye for esthetic detail. Removing the Zong tank graphics makes an enormous difference!





















I believe that Weldangrind is also correct on another matter. It is time for me to thoroughly explore the aftermarket fuel tank options before I proceed with painting the YamaZong’s fuel tank. Therefore, the YamaZong will remain in its present condition until I decide either to go with an aftermarket fuel tank, or to paint the current fuel tank.

I believe my best chance for success is to choose the 4.1 gallon (it’s really a 3.5 gallon) Clarke fuel tank designed for the Yamaha XT225. I have experimented with the stock Yamaha XT225 fuel tank, and I believe I can make it fit the YamaZong with only slight modifications. If the Clarke fuel tanks fits, I will decide how it looks mated to the Zong’s plastics and saddle. I will then choose either to remain with the Clarke tank, or paint the Zong’s fuel tank. I will document my work with the Clarke fuel tank in another thread.

Therefore, I have a new question. What color should I order for the Clarke XT225 fuel tank?

I believe my best choices are black, white, or natural/clear.
