I would purchase a larger fuel tank if I could find one that surely fits...

and, I wonder if the Kawasaki KSR 110- or125 mini moto 7.3 liter [almost 2 US Gallon] tanks would fit.

KSR compared to MSX ...is a very similar mini moto .
In fact, they look almost like one may be a rebadged version of the other.

Good idea, I will try to get some pictures of the KSR 110 tank for comparison and see if the stock sized
honda gas tank cap and location will match up.

Who knows maybe with bending very minor fab work the KSR 110 tank could be shoehorned in
and even if ugly hidden by the honda's plastic after all an increase in fuel capacity is all that matters

had no idea the ksr 110 tank was bigger then the msx tank odd considering the KSR is 110cc even smaller
are all the KSR tanks plastic? the size is perfect 7 litres or 2 gallons actually any metal tank of this size
would be a good starting point and could be banged up and dented a bit to made to fit so long as
not to much that you end up lowering its capacity the bolts could even be zip tied in from aftermarket tank
to original tank mounting point locations if you really didn't mind so long as overall its secure and tidy after the
plastics and gas tank cap go back on

Klx 110 tank plastic smaller cap wouldn't fit original msx tank cap not sure of capacity

The above tank looks perfect its a 1983 honda atc 110 metal gas tank it has a larger tank cap opening that might mount
up with a stock msx gas tank cap The thing I like about this tank is its metal so It could be dented up a bit to make fit and it has a larger gas cap opening perfect if the msx cap will fit and look 100% stock after the plastic covers it
Fuel tank capacity is 7.22 ( 1.9 US gal) the size is perfect to not to big but a decent increase

Heck yeah. With a hammer, a little Gorilla Glue, a couple rolls of duct tape and a 5 gallon bucket of bondo I'm sure you can git 'er done. Be sure to post pictures of how your project turns out.

Not sure I would go that route After finding out all ksr 110 tanks are plastic (thought they were but wasn't sure) I would not try to modify a plastic tank to fit unless it just so happened to fit perfectly for some odd reason

Metal is a completely different world, and anythings possible without bondo, duck tape, or gorilla glue

One could fabricate from scratch or start with an existing metal tank whichever is easiest
was considering the easiest and most functional method minus the bondo, glue, and duct tape

KSR 110 and KSR 125 have screw on non locking gas cap like most Kawasaki off road 'motocross' bikes did & still do. looks to be similar size...and without tank skirts. I suppose the gas gage fuel level sender would not fit in there either... Plastic does not rust.

 

[200-POUND-RIDER]

Fat Bob Harley tanks and a hinged springer bobber seat.... might be cool.

I haven't seen a "truly custom" Grom bobber cruiser or Grom Café racer yet....

 

[200-POUND-RIDER]

custom tank Taiwan ...is that a Grom sized bike ??

 

[200-POUND-RIDER]

custom bobber tank Taiwan .... are these little Asian guys better than us at making stuff ? Are we Ameri-can'ts ??

 

[200-POUND-RIDER]

now I have seen MSX Café racer...by OOracing .... yes, there really is a Grom under there... and it looks geeky techno-cool too.

 

[200-POUND-RIDER]

Fotoshop ?? "maybe"

 

[Targeted-individual-TWMSX]

I know some guys who chop up and fabricate KTR 150's out here in Taiwan
They have been made into everything I might just ask them how much to mod my stock
metal tank Who knows might only be 70-100usd
This is what a KTR looks like stock

Its made by a Taiwanese company called kymco who also had contracts in the past with honda for the NSR 150
Here's a link of one customized SMF ?????? - ??????? ????? ??????

That thing reminds me of how my kitchen counter top changed after I got married. There's so many roosters and apples on there that I can't see the counter top any more.

I read somewhere once a long time ago if you get the tank hot with boiling water or something equivalent you can use an air compressor to expand the original tank I guess endurocross and dirtbike riders do this if anyone tries this let me know if it works

 

[SuperGrom]

I would love to have a bigger tank ,the z pro is 2 gal. maybe I will work?

 

[Gr0mpyCat]

Maybe someone can try to retrofit the SSR Razkull tank to the Grom. The thing's like 3 gals.

Holy crap, that thing shares a ton of specs with the Grom, but the gas tank is more than double the size.

 

[NorCalGrom]

Biggest problem I see is that the Grom has the fuel pump inside of fuel tank. Would be a lot of extra work unless you are running a carburetor. I carry an MSR fuel bottle on rides where I think range is going to be an issue.

 

[SoCalGromAddict]

I carry a 30 ounce fuel bottle on the front fork, using a coffee cup holder.

I'm also interested. I've done the 143bbk but never really got my Wideband2 working properly. I've been running 100LL aviation gas since it's made to run lean without detonating. I'm afraid that if I have to fill up with pump gas, I could exceed the allowable temp range and damage something. I was doing some riding over the weekend that required some highway time before we got to our cruising destination and realized I wouldn't be able to cruise much and make it back on a single tank of gas. For now, I'll probably carry a few quarts in those flatter oil bottles so they fit into a backpack easier/more comfortably than a gatorade bottle. Does anyone here have the means to fabricate a prototype?

Can't help you with a tank, but you might pick up a TTO head temp gauge. Dirt cheap and it'll let you know if you're in danger of burning anything up. Good to have as a precaution regardless.
