#131714 coolalexrex (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 81 Gas tank compatability 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Where can I find a list or resource to determine what parts are compatible with my 2000 Roadstar? I specifically want to pick up a used tank so that I can begin practicing my painting without dropping a ton of coin, and end up with a piece I can actually use on my bike. Thanks!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #131720 Gram (Admin) Been there, wrecked that.

That list does not exist. You could comb through Yamaha's parts fiche but that would take a rediculous amount of time. Tanks that fit 2000, all years up to and including 2007. Rear fenders all years up to and including 2003, front fenders all years. Side covers all years fit all years. This is from memory, so others hopefully will chime in if they know of any exceptions.

I am a beginner, but I trust the basics my father (a retired toolmaker/machinist) taught me. Take your time. Take your time. Breathe, sight, and squeeze... Take your time, do it right... Since I've come up with this idea to paint my own I've met with some phenomenal resto guys, they do cars but the principles are the same, and they say, "take your time, do it right, don't go cheap. Have fun with it, and make it yours."   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #132086 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Gas tank compatability 3 Years, 7 Months ago   coolalexrex wrote: Hell yeah then, I just found sombody who wants $45 for a scratch and (major) dent, and I want to figure out how to fix them as well as paint them.

Every Marine has some of this in the shop (C4) It worked on my Club Cadet anyways. It went something like that..... JK'ing For real, in case I find any spare parts, what IS the process? I was thinking like Fiberglass but I have no idea. But I bet it's a pain.
