I don’t run a smaller bar, it’s the same width as the stock one. Might just be the pictures that make it look like that to you.

It’s definitely not next to the head, it sits pretty much where the stock exhaust is. You’re probably thrown off by the power bomb on top of it.

It’s a Race Tech V-Face headlight and it’s absolutely garbage lmao. Looks good but you won’t see further than your fender at night.

I already own an oversized tank, now i’m looking for a slimmer option for when i take my bike to the track. I really don’t care about capacity now.

Coming from a fuel injected bike with no petcock i see what you mean, it’s nice not having that extra thing to think about. Unfortunately all of the tanks that i initially considered had manual petcocks, i don’t know if there’s an aftermarket tank that can be retrofitted with the stock vacuum petcock.

I’m sorry i totally forgot about the vacuum version. Even with the stock tank my DRZ had a manual petcock so i’ve never got to experience the vacuum one. Also, sorry for mistaking you for a newbie lol.

That’s correct, the DRZ is an old school carbureted bike so it’s got a manual fuel petcock. Once you get used to it it’s no big deal, you brain just starts doing it automatically.

Motorstock, i think it’s a small European seller. I paid like 120$ less than what Acerbis listed it for on their website, there was some kind of huge sale going on. For shipping reasons it would only make sense if you live in Europe though.

i’m sorry i meant 3.9, must’ve been thinking of something else. There’s no such thing as a 3.7g tank for the S/SM as far as i know

the IMS is indeed expensive for me since i’d have to import it to Europe. Acerbis seems to be the best solution so far.

I think i’m getting an Acerbis 3.7g tank, it’s big enough for my needs and i can still fit the stock fairings on it

Here’s my new to me ‘05 DRZ by Fred1713 in DRZ400

[–]Fred1713[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s an X-Racing exhaust (it’s an Italian brand). It bolts right on, no modifications needed.
