    What sort of Money are aftermarket fuel Tanks worth

    Have found one for 12 wr450 for 275 coins

    What have they been worth in the past for previous models
    Just wondering if I should wait for more options??

    Bob,

    I’ve seen the way you ride :dry:

    You should consider a supertanker or a fuel trailer :P :laugh: :laugh:

    What’s the capacity of the tank you were looking at ?

    That was for a 28 litre tank but :ohmy: :laugh: :pinch:

    275 US I gather Bob? Whats postage worth? Steve’s WR in the APC has a Safari tank think its 14.5 litres local without postage. Maybe contact Safari and get a price

    Bob,

    Being a US site double check the capacity as a US gallon is 3.8 LITRES. :whistle:

    By the way litre can be spelt both ways ;) I guess it must be bi :P

    Seems to be a good price :)

    Yeah I was there for the first question :P I just thought as adventure tanks are normally a lot more expensive he should know that you had purchased a fuel tanker by comparison to what he is after ;)

    Don’t know but
    don’t the Safari ones have incorporated shrouds ????
    I don’t want inc shrouds

    it says 3.0 gal (11.3litres )
    at that rate i would get 115 km to bone dry on the map its on

    shipping is free

    not for os though

    I sent an email see what they say

    Yes they have incorporated shrouds on that one. Was just a thought, not a lot local for them yet eh? I know building the APC WR’s getting stuff was a struggle at times with the tanks only being finished and delivered less than a week before they left.

    Did you get the mapping tool with the bike Bob? I know the APC bikes were delivered with a very rich map and it sucked fuel like a $2 hooker! When it was changed leaner it would die sometimes when the throttle was chopped

    Yeh it has a Supposed aggressive Map in it

    Excellent for flowing single and snotty fire trail where you can keep it gassed

    but not so good for slow single

    i haven’t been bothered to change map yet but i would for a slower track

    and if you are tired and want to cruise home it is shite it just can’t be done on the map in it now
