larger gas tanks NX250/NX650 (fusion, acerbis)
Verfasst: Di Aug 08, 2017 6:22 am
Back in the eighties, the Götz company was offering universal plastic tanks, named fusion. It was said to hold 18l - just twice as much as the NX250 – but I never managed to get more than 16l out of it. I had one on my XT350 – but can’t find pics in my archive at the moment. Those tanks were originally designed for the Yamaha DT80LCII, that’s why they require more or less heavy modification when used for other bikes. When the NX250/650 were released in 1988 Götz also offered fusion tanks for our Hondas.
As for the NX250, the fit wasn’t too bad at all; the radiator and the mounts requires some modification.

The fusion tanks were often mistaken as acerbis tanks http://www.ebay.de/itm/Acerbis-Tank-Ben ... XQE9hSCKMr, and actually the KLR600 acerbis tanks http://lh4.ggpht.com/-IHOlp_4uTls/Uik9h ... imgmax=800 look very simular but won't fit our NX250.
The fusion was also sold for the NX650, but soon after Acerbis sold better fitting tanks of its own. Here is a nice write-up of the different tanks from the old dominator forum http://89232.forumromanum.com/member/fo ... 433&page=2 (pics also taken from that write-up)
