white tank

Hello mate,

Here's another pic if it helps, I had a white one and made the mistake of painting it. All the paint bubbled badly even though I primed it with plastic primer 3 coats!
The two colours avilable are only black and white.

Hope it helps

please note that if you have a 93 model you need to change also the plastics (side and rear fender) and the seatpost, getting the post 96 version, if you want to use the 23 liters model...

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.
