Product Overview
DAYTONA SR400/500 "BSA REPLICA ALLOY TANK", POLISHED, WITH MONZA CAP, 66680
The BSA type tank by DAYTONA Japan represents a fusion of classic design and modern manufacturing techniques. Crafted as a tribute to the iconic BSA Gold Star of the 1950s, this tank is not only a nod to the past but also a versatile component for motorcycle enthusiasts and custom bike builders. Its aluminium construction ensures durability, and a polished finish adds to its aesthetic appeal. Fitted with a lockable Monza style cap and supplied with all of essentials needed to install easily adds to the overall SR400/500 BSA style tank package.
As seen in the product images, the commitment to quality is evident in its Japanese craftsmanship, ensuring that each tank is not just a part, but a piece of crafted workmanship second to none! Designed specifically for Yamaha SR400/500 models, the tank seamlessly integrates onto the original factory SR tank location tabs front and rear, so there is no fabrication or altering needed (bolt on straight out of the box).
An important detail of the Daytona BSA tank is the proportions, the Daytona BSA style tanks have been made specifically for the SR400/500, this means there is no oversized or out of place fitment, (unlike other brands with generic tanks). The dye pressing process, coupled with robotic welding ensures a flawless construction, while the pressure testing before shipment guarantees performance & reliability. As expected, the normal SR400/500 (78-2008) type petcock can be installed or swapped from your current factory tank.
Whether you keep the tank polished or customized with paint (or a blend of both), the BSA type tank is a premium choice for those looking to combine classic café racer styling with contemporary custom bike builds. It's a testament to the enduring legacy of the BSA Gold Star and the evolution of modern motorcycle customization.

SUITS:
-> SR400/500 ('80-'08) carbie models
-> SR400/500 (78-79) carbie models – (*as long as the seat used with the tank is compatible).
TIPS:
The '78-'79 models have a frame bridge at the rear of the frame, therefore consider the seat you decide to use with this tank or remove the frame bridge if using seats that clash with the frame bridge. As a guide, the BSA tank is suitable with most custom seats that are of the normal length, or those that fit in the normal factory position. In other words, you do not need a short seat with this tank (as you do with the Norton tank). But some seats may clash. In general, many are fine.
COMPATIBLE SEATS STOCKED:
-> The Daytona 70's Surf-line seat range can be installed - (66147/66148/66149)

*There are many commercially available seats on the market. Some may be ok; some need some adjustments, and some may not fit at all due to dimensions of the seats. We cannot answer questions about every seat on the market. As above, all seats factory compatible seats that fit 80-2008 are usually ok, and for 78-79 models consider removing the rear frame bridge for similar results.
ATTENTION:
1, This tank does NOT suit the SR400 ('10-) FI models, and cannot be installed on injected models due to a change in the shape of the tank bottom plate and fuel tap fittings and internal plumbing etc. For FI models, see the Norton replica tank listed in our store (#91745).
2, Please use OEM fuel cock. It is recommended to replace the O-ring with a new o ring when mounting. OEM part number: 1J7-24512-00(-92/7), 2G2-24512-00(92/8-), sold separately.
3, Aluminium gasoline tanks can have some manufacturing marks due to the handmade / welding processes. *We cannot accept complaints about minor marks or minor wrinkles or ripples in the alloy etc., so please only purchase after understanding in advance, with that said these are made to a very high standard.
4, If you are fitting clip-on bars and fitting the turn signals (lamps) next to the under bracket, use of the handlebar stopper (26157 or 910041) is recommended (sold separately).
5, The alloy surface is untreated to take advantage of the lustre of aluminium. Maintenance is required to maintain a highly polished look. We recommend cleaning regularly and polishing lightly on a regular basis. We also recommend if you live by the sea, take measures to protect the tank just like all polished parts.
