    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?
