  11. I love these "genuine" clients that write something at the bottom of the web page like:
    "Thanks again, I love the tank. It made a noticeable difference in weight."
    If the tank is bigger then fill it with fuel and it will weigh more. If he leaves it nearly empty then can he really notice the 2.5 kgs (3 lts of fuel) saving in weight? That would be about 1% of the bike and rider weight, I wonder how much better the acceleration will be.

  12. I got a ETI fuel-cel tank for my 1098 and it was easily the best thing I did to the bike. 100 miles was easily doable. Had a few close calls with the reserve coming on at 65 miles and being no where near a fuel station.

  14. I got 85 miles from mine ... Not to bad I thought ... Would only get 100 from my aprilia and that was an 18 litre tank

  15. It was a few years back now tbh. £800 rings a bell... They're really quite helpful, so I'd drop them a mail. If the exchange rates are good then it's a bonus. You do need to factor in painting though as they are supplied in primer only.
    It wasn't exactly what you call cheap, but it really did change my experience of riding the bike. I was getting ready to get rid as the range was dictating my rideouts and planning fuel stops was more important than enjoying myself.
    When I got rid of the bike, I sold the tank on and recouped a chunk of the investment.

  18. The 848 Evo corse tank is 18ltr yes, the standard 848 Evo has a plastic tank and is 15l

  20. I bought a 22ltr tank as part of the secondhand race bodywork I bought on ebay four years ago.
    Its a kevlar tank which is usually £1500 before painting it.
    What a difference it makes, 110 miles before the fuel light comes on.
    It was supplied new from JHP Ducati in Coventry
