The only difference in the 81 tanks, besides the size choices, were that they had screw on KTM badges. I don't have an 81 manual, but the 79 125-400 manual only shows the MX and the extra large tank without the holes for the tank bag, and the 79 420 manual shows the MX tank and the medium sized tank, as well as a metal tank,(probably for foreign use, since they couldn't run plastic tanks in some countrys). The 80 manual shows only the medium size tank and the large tank with the holes for the tank bag. but I had a 80 MX small tank that is not listed in the manual, so it is pretty confusing what was actually available each year. 79 tanks had a distinctive different look to them.

I will get a pict on here if I can.  The 80 MX tanks were very similer to the 81 MX tanks that have the metal badge.

Mike Lenz,
  I would like to talk to you about some of your parts.  Can you email me at [email protected]?  I tried to reach you through this message board but I still don't think it's working.  Cheers.
