On this page we have listed all the spare parts required for tank assembly. The damper pad item no. 27243 is required twice and is glued into the tank on the left and right above the front mounting points. A rubber damper item no. 10060 is inserted in each of the front mounting brackets. The rubber item no. 10062 is inserted from below into the rear mounting bracket.
The steel tank was installed on the XT500 from 1976 - 1979, on the TT500 until 1978. From 1980, the aluminum tank was installed on the XT500 (on TT500 from 1979). However, the XT tank from 1980 does not show any aluminum, as it is painted completely black and white. It was not until 1981 that the aluminum tank, so beloved by many XT500 owners, appeared in its full glory. Steel and aluminum tanks cannot be mounted on the other frame.
