Part #83-1798
Late 60's Triumph Bonnie Gas Tank
Part number
83-1798 raw steel fuel tank is as supplied on the late 1960s Bonnies, but will fit all
unit construction pre1971 Triumph 650 models. The Taiwan manufacturers are using
thicker gauge steel than original for strength and to meet DOT regulations for
fuel tanks. These tanks are a virtually exact replica for the impossible to find
tank that is missing from so many bikes. These will take the standard badges,
tank beading, kneegrips, fuel taps and caps, all stocked by BCS and available
through any BCS dealer, or the badge holes can be filled in and painted over or
decals can be fitted. If you are restoring or are building a bobber don't miss
out! Order today.
Notes:
1) The tank under this part # was
originally painted; originally for 1970 T120R.
2) Uses the stock
Triumph gas cap 622-04 or
alternate.
3) Note: Original tank used early beading strip 83-5564 (that has integral stud)
with nut 97-0919 and washer 82-4019;
or later strip 83-0031 with hook 83-0008 and nut 97-0919 and washer 82-4019. These
do not fit this tank- too short! We are researching this issue and will post
results here.
4) Can use late kneepads
82-8192/8193 (1968 onward) or early 82-5401/5402
(pre 1968).
5) 82-9700/9701
badge set with two each screws
82-7888 and 83-1339;
but early 82-6887/6888
(1965-1968) badge set with two
each 82-4129 and 82-7888 screws will align, but
the curvature is not correct - this may be a problem with the current batch of
badges and not the tank.
6) Uses gas
taps 621-131 and 621-132 with
sealing washers 70-7351 and 83-0002.
7) Uses tank
mount hardware and rubber kit 414-000091
back to 1967; pre 1967 uses the same kit plus rear frame bolt 82-5337.
8) It is highly recommended that all fuel tanks
be fitted, pressure tested, and sealed before painting.
We recommend 235-02
Gas Tank Sealer: Two
part epoxy, no solvents, so ground shippable mail and UPS. Customers clean tank
using thinner and screws, not included. Guaranteed with alcohol and
fibreglass.
WARNING: When installing these fuel tanks ALL frame, motor, carburetor,
cable and bracket clearances must be checked with the fuel tank full to insure
there are sufficient clearances when the motor is cold and hot. All hardware
must be properly installed and tightened accordingly. Please pressure test gas
tanks prior to painting. All parts
must be fitted prior to painting the tank to be sure that no problems are
encountered later.

note, although we only sell parts from reliable manufacturers, warranties are
