Ebay is a good source. Go to motorcycle parts and put this in the search box

(tt22*,tt 22*)

For the seat cover, handguards, and graphics, I'd say go aftermarket. Try ThumperTalk or other online motorcycle parts stores. You may have to get the graphics from Yamaha.

The gas tank may be tough to find even on ebay. What's wrong with the one you have? As long as it's not rusted through a tank can usually be made to work.

Thanks Cloenard, I´ll check ebay. :thumbsup:

The gas tank is made of plastic and it has large brown stains due to gasoline fumes.

Webgringo,

The graphics issue is solved. My brother in law is starting a business of automotive decals; so he will make mi graphics.

Any particular kind of paint you used in your XT tank?

had a buddy down at the boat yard in cabo san lucas to do it
so , yea , it was boat paint.
great job as well

but any heavy duty paint will do

or just dump it in a paintshop and ask em to spray it together with one of their cars
