Fuel Tank for Divvie

Good evening Gents and Gentesses,

I have a 1995 Divvie 600 with a dented tank. Apart from the crack in
the paintwork which is starting to rust a little, I'm also
experiencing a significant (~25 miles) reduction in range because the
damn thing's actually *smaller* on the inside, now! I've been thinking
of getting a new tank (or at least a salvaged one) but the thought
struck me that even the undented size wasn't really all that great,
I'd like to have a range somewhere over 200 miles, ideally, and the
standard tank gave me around 180 (now more like 150) which sucks

Does anyone know if there's an aftermarket larger-than-oem tank
available for the divvie 6? Or alternatively, what're the chances of
fitting a divvie 9's tank?

Any ideas, people?

Cheers & God bless
