I had one dealer suggest I had Acerbis built me a tank as a one off - but that sounded a bit mad -

Would anyone else be up for that? so we could suggest a minimum run for them?

It may be worth making enquiries about getting one made in aluminium. In the current Supermoto Magazine (Spring 06), there's a pic of an ally tank sold by Mac Moto. I know it's for an XR650, but you get the ally tank (only 7.5 litres in this case), CRF rad shrouds, cap & fuel tap for £335.

It might end up being cheaper to get a small run of custom ally tanks made than plastic ones.

I'll register my interest in a custom tank - depending on size and style

Keep us posted...

Looks to be nicely made, but I would personally prefer to replace the existing tank than add an auxiliary tank to the back of the bike...

I tend to agree!

Aux tanks rob you of stoarge space for tank bags and the like.

I'm still bidding on a 28ltr KTM tank on ebay and wondering if building a fittment kit is the best way to go - any thoughts?

Look at this!! Scroll down for this killer replacement tank. 28 ltrs. Anybody able to translate German? I'm tempted to pick one up, but I have so many other things I'd like to do to the bike first...

LOL! Nicely done...The important thing I noted was that it's NOT paintable, so you gotta live with that blue or orange color. Don't know how that would look on my RED bike, but it's damn tempting...

**REVISED**

Just used Dictionary.com's translator program, and discovered that the Kit #1 IS in fact paintable, and comes in Silver, too. Here's the total translation:
