    Re: Extra fuel tanks..

    I know a guy up in Dumfries who does all kinds of tanks , mudguards ,fenders for Nortons and Triumphs out of ally sheet moulded in the old-school way.

    It could be a good idea to call him and see how much would he charge to do a bigger ally TA tank.

    This man is a true artist and every tank is unique. Still welds ally with a acetylene torch.

    Re: Extra fuel tanks..

    I heard somewhere that its possible to stick an AT tank on a TA. Is this true? can it be done?
    Im modifying on a budget and as much as i'd like a new shiny custom job, its just not happening at the mo.

    Thanks in advance.

    Have a gander at www.Transalp.org :: View topic - Jeffs TransAlp to AfricaTwin conversion thread!
    This was an early model, hope it helps ( If it works it may be possible to fit the 43litre tank from www.touratech.com very pricey )
