Also, Clarke now makes a TW200-specific tank, so if I go with a plastic unit, that's what I'd choose. YAMAHA TW200 (ALL YEARS) 2.7 GALLONS I think that 2.7 gallons would meet my needs.

Great acquisition, Weld! I'm very excited for you and SOWAG.
I had a TW that I bought to teach my ex to ride on. Great little bike and it cleaned up well. As one of the few (only?) people here to ride a few Zongs, with and without Spudwheels, and a TW I can say that they are all equally excellent. I was riding the Cascade Mountians yesterday, pics and ride report pending, and saw an elk hunter dragging an elk out of the mountains on a dirt oly, non DS TW. I have a pic of it, never seen one of those before. REMEMBER anything you need, like the speedo and case cover, can be had from ZS pretty inexpensively but not without aggravation... :roll: How does she run? Have you considered Spudwheels? You'd sell the XL? That's a heck of a nice bike. You prefer the 2 stroke? Just wondering. Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! ![]()

![]() You only need one oil filter, since it is cleanable, and reusable. I prefer to keep a spare oil filter, so I can install a fresh oil filter, and clean the dirty one later, at my leisure. ![]() Spud ![]()

I will keep ZA in mind as a parts source. I gotta watch the budget. The TW hasn't run yet. I hope it does. ![]() The XL is currently for sale. Too many cons to keep it, like no title. The TW has a title, and is a much better score.
