WIll 1987 Royal Venture gas tank fit on 1991 Royal Venture?

[vulcanb822]

My 1991 Royal Venture gas tank needs to be replaced. I found a used 1987 gas tank on ebay that seller says will fit the 1991 venture but I wanted to confirm before I made the purchase. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, it will bolt right in.

Although all First Gen Venture fuel tanks are interchangeable, they are not all identical. For instance, the 1983 and 1984 fuel tanks use a non locking gas cap (the fuel filler door locks). The 1985-1993 fuel tanks use a locking gas cap with a non locking fuel filler door. The 1985-1993 locking gas cap will NOT work on the 1983-1984 fuel tanks. The fuel tank neck/opening is different.

Just a FYI.

Your Welcome I will also ad that $12 a year is a darned good price for the knowledge you gain from such a site, there is a couple sites you can go in like boats.net partzilla.com If you have a part your looking for and see it on ebay, I use yamahapartshouse.com to cross reference parts if there in question. I believe partzilla and boats.net also you can do the same there. the reason I use yamahapartshouse.com is they still list all the parts even tho they have discontinued most.

And, if I recall right, early standards had a different petcock, only on/off and did not have the reserve, but same tank...

I'm pretty sure the petcocks are interchangeable but not 100% on that...

[snyper316]

Me either

 

Twist the handle and move!!!

I got almost nicked on the cap difference when I got a replacement tank for an early bike but the seller included the cap all was good! Original tank rusted out left bottom?
