Not sure about that

Carbon all the 'hard work' is in making the mould

With ally each one would have to be hand made.

Even with an ally tank I'd still want it upgraded

oversize for endurance, dual filler, sealing face to frame for open carbs etc etc.
I second this I would definitely be up for one of this was the case. Having a std tank modded for twin fillers just now but carbon oversized would be far better

last time I checked about alloy ones I got quoted £1500.00 and no discount

all our other tanks are bigger than standard so this would be a bit larger than standard but not looking to seal it to the frame or have twin fillers fitted

Was quoted around £700 for one last year, and that was oversize with twin fillers but plus the cost of the filler caps.
