Just won this tank on ebay for $50. This should fit my '97 M2 right? I currently have a 2 gallon slim tank on mine. Need the extra capacity to go on longer rides. |

i don't think that the s1 tank is that much larger than your slim M2 tank. But, yes, it will fit. I have an S1 tank on my '99 M2. If you want extra capacity, you'll want the Manta tank. |

And the Manta tank is an S1W tank. |

So how many gallons is this tank? Sorry its actually from a 1997 S1 http://www.ebay.com/itm/230829536446?ssPageName=ST RK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 |

If it's the gray one labeled "sold"...it looks like a Manta, from someone who doesn't know what year/application it's from. A stock, correct 97 S1 tank will be identical to your early M2 tank. The Manta debuted on the 98 S1W and was later used on the 99-up M2 and S3's. Same as Thunderstorm heads. |

Rat, sorry but the Manta debuted on the 97 S3. |

Well, I got the tank yesterday. It is certainly bigger and the shape does remind me of a manta ray. Mostly wider in size than taller. Do these tanks have liners inside them or are they just plain plastic tanks? (Message edited by sanddamaged on August 02, 2012) |

One thing I like is the locking gas cap. Which on my slim tank, did not have. My key fits! |

The keys aren't lock specific for the gas caps. The locks will take any barrel key styled like ours. |

Locking cap just adds peace of mind for me. |
