    Question Replacement larger capacity AT tank

    Been giving some thought to a larger tank for my 1997 Rd-07.

    Can anyone recommend any suppliers? preferrably not into the ridiculous money that ive seen for the touratech one..

    And also any advice on whether the larger tanks tend to fit straight on the bike, or if i woul need to make any other alterations.
    Chris.

    I think they are a direct replacement.
    Have you tried Africa Queens?
    I think they all have a want our mods, then get a mortgage attitude.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Most are a direct fit
    Most are too expensive

    What about a marathon set up like Kitped with an extra tank at the rear, no cheaper but look mean, and balance a bit better.
