yes i have had one of them on my triumph twin for years ,it is fixed with one bolt in the middle so i put hard foam on the tube rail,i would recomend the white one ,scull type similar to ariel

I've been using the Ariel type (on my Ariel!) pictured there for a few years and it has held up pretty well. Plenty of capicity and unobtrusive. It needed the epoxy fibreglass treatment after a while...which seems to be a common issue today with glass tanks and modern fuel. I've made it a habit not to leave fuel in it for extended periods. I might break down and get an alloy one for non-competition if that gets tiring!
