 Topic: Falco tank on a Gen 2?????Posted: 13 Oct 2016 at 13:47 |

As a daft question (and I've not had a shandy yet) has anyone tried a Falco tank on a Gen 2?
If so what does it look like? Am getting paranoid about my swelling tank and the fact that a carbon replacement project may not get off the ground so thought: - Falco tanks are bigger (another bonus as range is my only gripe with the T) - Morepower has moulds for a Falco tank So if a Falco tank would fit on a Gen 2 I would be interested in knowing how it would look. Anyone got a falco tank that could be tried on my bike or another?

Is there any difference between the Gen 1 and 2 tanks, other than the shape? Do they have the same capacity? etc..

Hi Red,
Thanks for that. Well the lines between the Gen 2 seat unit and tank don't look too back, not sure how it line up with the frame spars, hard to see on this image. |

if i may go off slightly at a tangent....
if a falco tank fits a gen1 would, therefore, a gen1 tank fit on a falco? i'm thinking of a very early gen1 metal rather than plastic tank?

Got a carbon Falco tank here.. I could talk to griff and see if he has a bike there. He is only 20 minutes away.
