RS250's have aluminum thin walled tanks. Not sure if they would fit in an NSR frame without modifications to the frame.

The RS fuel tank kind of sits in the frame/airbox a little, so you may find the cross bar on the NSR frame will get in the way. Not 100% sure as I have never tried to match those two together. Also, I am talking about a 2001 RS tank, not sure of earlier model tanks.

Yes it will fit. I was going to fit a NX5 tank to my MC28 but didn't get around to it. It is made of aluminium alloy and it looks ok. [img][/img]

The older style (93-00 years) tank may fit, but not sure about the newer style. There is a good amount that drops into the frame up front, and the frame on the RS is much wider then the NSR up there.

So the NXA series may not (as in probably) work, but the NX5 series may (as in Scott is saying it will) work Smile
