Re: bigger tank
vfr tank looks bulbous and ungainly imho, you can try and find a late model 2001 onwards tank that will give you 19ltrs, but there hard to find and not cheap, the third option would be to get a spare 16ltr tank, you can get them for £20/30 take it to a bodyshop, ask them to cut the bottom 3inchs or so off and weld it to the bottom of your existing tank, just a rough discription if you get my drift. theres a picture on google somewhere i'll try and find it....
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Or get a petrol tanker and replenish while on the move.
I agree with BSM that the VFR800 tanks look a bit strange. I don't think it would be so bad if some panels where made to fill the gaps created towards the rear of the frame near the seat. I would either hold out for a 19L or cut and splice a 16L to make it larger.

What if you want to go more than 80 miles though? !!cybercarl wrote:Or get a petrol tanker and replenish while on the move.

Splicing a tank is the cheapest way to go really, and the most likely of happening. 19L tanks are rare and expensive, most people don't remove them from the later model bikes as that's why they got the later model in the first place

Re: bigger tank
That's why you have the petrol tanker. When you get low on juice, throw the tanker a line and they can attach the refuelling hose to it for you to pull back across and fill the tank.What if you want to go more than 80 miles though
If they can do it at Sea I'm sure it can be done on the roads.

Re: bigger tank
No, you misunderstood.. Riding in a 'spirited' fashion will get you 80 miles with the tanker

Re: bigger tank
It certainly would with mine well, I'm hoping I get a bit more now before the light starts flashing. I was getting just over 90's until fully empty

Re: bigger tank
Don't know how you can go through fuel so fast. I haven't refilled mine since I got it over a month ago.

Re: bigger tank
Who would splice a tank though? Thought of this a few times, though it isn't really an issue for me now. I did fit a VFR 24l tank and it looked bloody awful and way too cumbersomeVirt wrote:What if you want to go more than 80 miles though? !!cybercarl wrote:Or get a petrol tanker and replenish while on the move.

Two bikes, still only four cylinders!
