Oversized gas tanks

Anybody know where I can get an oversized gas tank for my 99 RM250?

Hope you can help

One other question can I put grip warmers on my bike? or is that only a electric start bike thing?

Any bike shop should be able to the tank for you.

You need some electricity (a stator that makes power for more than just the spark plug) to run grip heaters. I run grip heaters on my 250 2 stroke and it's not electric start.

I found my IMS tank on Fleabay for less than half the price of a new one. It even came with wear marks and dirt to match the rest of my bike.

I had a quick look for you and came up with this one:

IMS or Clarke make oversized gas tanks and get the transparent model so you can see where your gas level is at.
I put an 11 litre tank on my cr 250 and that does the trick for big rides and racing. the 16 litre just gets too bulky, blocks radiator flow and tears your nuts off.
If your a big guy, get a tall seat as well, makes climbing hills and riding over the bars a lot easier, not to mention the knees stop humming.
