Fuel tank???

I'm currently prepparing my 2003 XT600 for a RTW trip. I'm looking at fuel tanks and the obvious choice seems to be an Acerbis 23l for approx £270. Has anybody come across any other options? As far as I can see this seems to be the only one around...

Thanks!

That`s your only bolt on option im afraid, Clark do one but its smaller in capacity, if you wanted bigger than the Acerbis you would need to make another tank fit your bike.

Mezo.

some options (one is an online shop, the other is a private seller, the third is on ebay)

serbatoio Yamaha Xt 600 1995 2003 litri 23-crosShop

Serbatoio acerbis 23 litri xt 600 - Accessori Moto In vendita Lecco

Tank Acerbis Yamaha XT 500 E XT 600 Bj:90- | eBay

third is a 3tb model, yours is 4pt, can probably be adapted with some changes

I don't know any of the three seller..

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. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
