Can you let us know the model Acerbis tank for the record? Trade you a bike pic for it!

yes I agree we would love to see some more pics of the tank and maybe even how it connects with the OEM system

I don't recall ever seeing such a tank on the TW forum

Here's a 5.8gln Acerbis from a fella overseas. Found this in the Gallery. Not sure if there's a write up anywhere....haven't searched that far.

Many pics found here, including 2 below..... My Pics

The tank in the link, bottom photo, has serious potential to injure the rider in the event of just the wrong type of wreck, with the sharp trailing corner sections of the tank sticking out proud of the seat, not flush.

Inner thighs & groin, beware.

That’d be a no-go 4 me.

Good eye! May be part of the reason user had sheepskin cover on it, along with comfort. But for someone doing serious remote riding, and wanting/needing something of this size/shape....nothing a little thought & patience, and creative thinking, couldn't overcome.

Personally, I'd never add one this large, as I'd go with an Clarke XT225 4.1gln if I needed additional range over OEM.

That was sheepskin? Thought rider was just a natural blond.

Not like motorcycles aren't inherently dangerous already, don't let a few pokey points towards the groin get in the way of riding. Mad Max wouldn't.

Your family jewels, your call. Just fine with the inherent danger, othwerwise, wouldn't ride.

I guess maybe I just don't see logic in supporting the idea of unnecessarily increasing your risk with a badly finished accessory mod, when better executed options may be possible. Most anything can be improved upon.

Kaizen…

With a proper seat mod, that setup could be ideal (& safer, too) for desert wasteland horizon-chasers.

Wont this setup crush your fender into those headlamps when hitting a bump ?

 

[1953onlytwo]

Im not a hard rider, so far no problem, I did lost a IR cover that I had not secure good when blacked out riding in the field, but I found it,, I will check the clearance, Thanks

At the gun range last fall.

 

[1953onlytwo]

Thanks GreasyDave,,,went to the shop and checked the IR lights in the middle. Your correct 1 1/2 inch clearance is not enough, Ill move them to the top outside, Good eyes. Thanks for the heads up

I didn't realize Acerbis is a USA company from Idaho I always thought they were German or Austrian for some reason

Might have to stop by and beg for a Factory tour I have always found they make exc quality items I'd be surprised they had harmful sharp edges in the wrong places

Well, if in reference to the tank on the TW posted above.....I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with it, particularly if it was mounted on the bike it was designed/made for (which wasn't the TW).
