BSA Petrol tank, glass-fibre
A 1969-era glass-fibre petrol tank, part number 82-9609.
This is a glass-fibre petrol tank, catalog number 82-9609. It shows up in the parts book under two figure headings — one covering petrol tank, twinseat and controls, and the other covering the glass-fibre tank alongside the handlebar and controls — so it's the fuel tank sitting up top on the frame, feeding the carburetor and giving the bike its shape.

Glass-fibre tanks were used as an alternative to the standard steel tank in this era, valued for being lighter, though they need the right mounting hardware and rubber to sit correctly without cracking. Our catalog record ties this one to the 1969 model year across both figure appearances, but doesn't specify which model it was fitted to beyond that.
If you're sourcing one of these for a rebuild, check the tank against your existing mounts and fuel tap threads before committing, since fiberglass tanks of this vintage can vary in fitment details that the parts book doesn't spell out. Give us a call if you want to confirm before ordering.
