I have a gastank and gas cap.

I bought a tank, but it may be incorrect or a pos. I havent recieved it yet. also won a seat same day all on ebay. how much do u want? I have sprint parts and maybe some seat covers(new) on refurbed oem pans.

Here is the tank for sale^^^^ It is the one one the 68 Rapido (in front). It looks to be OK. You or anyone else make me an offer.

So the rapido and the m65/m50 share many parts? That is what my m65 looks like. Btw I got the tank and it is good using electrolisis to clean a smal amount of rust from the iside as we speak. I still need fuel valve that screws into internal threads on the tank and fuel cap. Where are u located I'm in N.C.

Yes, the early Rapido, M-65 and 50. share many of the same parts. The front half of the frame is the same for all. Rear swingarm and front forks are beefier on the 125 68-72 Rapido. Tanks, seats, aircleaners, bars, and grips are the same.

I live in Pittsburgh, Pa. area.

I have a petcock for the tank It is $12.00 as is. The gascap as you may know is specialized. It has a plastic 3 1/2" tube the diameter of the inside cap which allows it to keep the gas/oil mix from frothing out of the tank. The one I have should be painted black to be correct. It is in good shape. $19.00 for it.

Hope this helps. Donny

Thanks I got the cap. I just scratched all the paint off and will use it black with no paint at all.

IN case no one knows why the cap caps are so long on the early 2 stroke HDs; it is because there was no oil pump for mixing the oil with the gas.

The Rapido and similiar pre-70 Harleys gas cap was a measuring cup to be filled with 2 stroke oil that was the right ratio for a full gas tank of gas. Dat's why.

I'd heard about that technique on other old Euro two-strokes, interesting to see it here, as well. Now I need to go out and find an Aermacchi Leggero
