2006 VIVA sx200s Gas Tank Needed

shell0546 · 07-28-2011, 02:33 AM

I am trying to locate a gas tank for a 2006 VIVA sx200s. I realized these are cheaply made bikes which do not get a whole lot of positive attention. However I am attempting to find a gas tank for this bike or a tank from another bike that will work for this one.

A very good friend of mine recieved this bike from his father and a few years ago and I would like to get it running for him as he no longer has any other source of transportation to and from work and has fallen on some very rough times as many of us have, I do not want him to lose his job due to lack of transportation as well as everything else he's been through.

If any one has any ideas of where I could find a tank that will work for this bike without having it shipped from China (which would apparently cost around $600 total) please let me know I have looked all over the net and locally with no luck.

I have a plastic Lifan GY5 tank. Do you have a picture of the stock tank?

If I get to the backyard I will get a picture of i.

Tried replying back to you a while ago but Ive had issues with my computer.. I do not have a picture of the tank but I will try to get one.. If the tank you have will work what kind of price are we looking at?

I have a picture of the tank but am unsure how to attach it so you can see if the one you have will work or not.

I am hoping it will. Have you been able to get a pic of what you have?
I am very interested if it will work for the Bike Im fixing..

You need to have a third party host your pics, like Photobucket. There are some good instructions here: How to share your photos
