    They are pretty trick arent they

    From what i can see, the guy has taken off the tank, and fabricated a shroud which looks like a mini tank but isnt - it just protects the radiator.
    The air box is still there.

    The fuel tank is fabricated under the rear of the seat - probably a fabricated aluminium one, but my god it must be small, no wonder he has a jerry can with him

    And that seat - its just racing foam cut to shape - cant be that comfortable, unless the guy uses it off road, where he'll mostly be standing.

    They must be really light compared to a standard AT

    I don't think he really gives a t0ss and I don't see any 'owner in flames' pics or perhaps it's a jealous BMW owner filling the tank with schnapps?

    WOW

    How did the Yanks get into that group....one AT with the "star and stripes" another with the Confederate Flag titled "General Lee"....very interesting

    I notice that the heavily moded AT has a small bottle on the crossbar. I'm betting its not drinking water.

    Here are a few more moded ATs from Paolo from Italy. He just posted these on the advrider site a few days ago. One has the "reartank" mod. This may be more popular than I thought although the application would be a bit limited.









    I very much like the last one with the rally fairing. Anyone here ever ridden behind one? Is there a lot of turbulence behind these?

    Have to agree, the last one is my fave - think i'll be speaking to Stefan over the winter

    i've got the universal African Queens fairing on my dominator - it seems to depend how you sit on the bike - sometimes i get buffeting and sometimes nothing - thats at up to 80 or 90 mph. If its a windy day, then i seem to remember getting blown around a bit more.
