April 13, 201016 yr Has anyone tried the tank from D and c Motorcycles? It is a fiberglass tank Im Looking for a low narrow ish one http://www.dcclassicmotorcycles.co.uk/part..._fuel_tanks.htm Thanks Marty D
April 13, 201016 yr 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
April 14, 201016 yr 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! Doug
April 15, 201016 yr Author Thanks they look like a nice shape but wasnt sure about the durability is there a off the shelf alloy tank that can be bought? Marty
April 15, 201016 yr Marty - give Terry Weedy a bell - he might have what you are after on the shelf http://www.terryweedy.com/products.html Dave
April 17, 201016 yr Author Thanks Dave i am at the moment using a SWM steel tank the shap and fit are quite good Just that empty its 5kilos!!!! Someone decided to take the dents out with solder rather that a modern lightweight filler Marty
