Thanks Mezo - I did try it on an early Tenere (83 or 84) belonging to a mate and it didn't align with the seat. Could have been made to fit, but would have meant a custom seat.
Another friend had an early 3TB with what I thought was the same tank as this on it - his is the white one below. I have also seen this blue one. Looking closely now, they do seem slightly different, so you could well be right.

Anyone want a tank for a 43F?!!

I understand the 2KF (like mine) was built from '87 to '89, so according to the Acerbis instructions that would make it a tank for a 2KF. Mine is an '89 model. In addition to that, your tank looks exactly like the 2KF tank I have.

That`s right Rick (according to Karls model codes post) which also says its known as a 2NF in some countries.

Hi JP, what model is your XT? The code will form the start of the frame/engine number.
As you can tell from the thread above there has been some confusion over the suitability of the tank. 99% sure it will fit 2KF and 2NF models.

Regards

Bob

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love.
