footgoose Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 pretty sure that's a repro of a Benelli Mojave tank. Isn't an early 1100 Sport tank steel? Seems like that would fit the later spine... kinda, sorta. 1

ScuRoo Posted May 7, 2021 Posted May 7, 2021 Hey Bbennett One experience you should absolutely try first... Only fill your existing tank by 10 L consecutively for a minimum of 6 stops for gas. If you find you actually prefer that more than filling up 3 times... well then, you’re good to go so just go ahead and drop the hammer on the Benelli lookalike - seems a reasonable price. I like big tanks simply for the range aspect. Agree a lot of smaller tanks do look pretty good - but I’m yet to see a 21 L capacity tank that is much better looking than the V11’s - even those early versions that seem to have attached some sort of pouch on top for a sanitary pad. 1
Kane Posted May 7, 2021 Posted May 7, 2021 Living in California, the land of ethanol and sundry corn products, I would love to have a metal tank on my bike. But 10L, I dunno. My bike seems to chug down the Cali gas pretty quick. With 10L I would have to gas up each day to go to and from work, like my friend has to on his Mike Hailwood Ducati. The range is already a bit limited—or perfect for forced breaks—as it is.
knumbnutz Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 10ltrs... shiiite thats like those peanut harley tanks.. at least the vibration will make them stop before it runs out of gas. 1 1
