- One of the many challenges when restoring a vintage Triumph unit 650 twin is finding a good, useable, and repairable gas tank
In this video, Kyle will unbox, review and fit a new Triumph unit 650 "Slimline" gas tank
This tank is manufacture by EMGO, in Taiwan
I personally think that this EMGO gas tank is SOLID and is perfect for an everyday rider or a restored bike - just needs prep and paint!
Fits all Triumph 650 unit twins from 1963-1970

Thank god you guys are around to supply us vintage triumph owners!
Thank you!
thanks for the video which is critical for those needing to replace their tanks. well filmed and run-through.
Thank you!
Thank you for this clear information. We look forward to a new video showing you starting up this bike for the first time and ride it! 👍👌😉
Thank you for the product knowledge.
Our pleasure!
The ONE repro thing ALL my vintage Triumphs need are petcocks that don't freeze up or gum up. A maintenance/restoration video on that would be very helpful.
What brand are you using? I sell more EMGO petcocks than any other brand, no problems
Looks good a nd fits nice
Thank you for watching!
Good video! That brace under the front of the tank is a great addition and Triumph did that on the oil in frame models to prevent the tank from splitting back when we used to ride our Triumphs really long distances. I remember 45 years ago getting my freshly painted tank welded at a tire shop high in the Rocky Mountains on a trip out to the west coast. Another friend had his tank welded in Saskatchewan. They crack around the tunnel. All the pieces you used were brand new. I would have like to see you fit an original set of tank badges; they don't fit well on the Indian tanks. The Emgo tank has a much more accurate shape than the Indian ones. Why can't you use original trim?
Shape is different which is why you can't use an original trim (the top contour) Thanks for watching!
So I am considering this tank for my Tiger, would you say the tank is very similar to the larger Tiger tank?
Not as slim as the T120R tank but not as wide as the TR6R - it’s in between
Do you think the tank badges are a good fit , They are a poor fit on a stock tank , big gap at front spear on badge to tank . Just Sayen
They look better on the EMGO tank
Is this a 2 1/2 gallon tank?
I believe a 3 gallon
Where's the original to compare ?
I plan on making another video for side by side comparisons
@@classicbritishsparesjust curious. I rebuilt a 68 Triumph and spent a lot of time making that tank right. Welding pins and pulling out dents. Still had to skim coat with some body filler. The option to chrome is there with a perfect new tank if you want to customize. Thanks for the video.
looks pretty fat for a slimline....just sayin.
Cool
