Short of filling the gas tank on my 90/6, is there a way to tell if I have the standard or large capacity tank. Is there a diamensional figure I can look to or a part number under the tank.
thanks,

This is a large tank:

Small tanks are not embossed for knee grips, although some small tanks have had grips added.

Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

Mel,
When you say embossed, do you mean that there is a relief in the side of the tank so that the knee pad still remain flush to the surface?
