2000 rsvr

I took my rsvr over to etto motorcycles yesterday, he’s making me an aluminium fuel tank for it, I took a spare gen1 tank he’s going to use as a former and a spare 1.5 tank, he’s fitting a newton fuel cap as well, he does some beautiful fab work, he’ll be able to make others now he’s got the formers if anyone is interested in one.

Forming over the tank increases volume as well, not sure how much by yet but it’s 3mm over the tank.

From what I’ve seen of Ian’s work at etto he’s very good and mark at rcd has good things to say about him, like most things as they get older people tend to shy away from spending larger amounts on them, I’ve seen people buying cheap chains and oil, cheap brake discs and pads because it’s an older bike, I’ve never understood it personally.

Hey Hemi,

Which carbon tank did you get Argi and what's gone wrong?

Following with great interest, best solution for the ethanol woes really.

There are quite a few on the Ducati Streetfighter forum who are looking for aluminium tanks after TechnoRace kind of pulled out. Started a group buy, made 8 or so then got too busy with other stuff and not doing any more.
Would Etto's be able to turn their hand to that as well I wonder? I doubt it would be huge numbers, but there were quite a few who had their names down on the group buy who missed out.

i do admire metal working skills

very nice hemi proper job 👍 you recon he could do a gen2 using the same principle?

I can ask him, he’ll no doubt be trial fitting it.
