Me petrol Tanker pics!
As promised dudes! Here's my 25l tank. What are your thoughts, it don't stand out as much now it's matching lol
On full lock the indicator button/starter button touches the tank so will have to sort that out. Not bothered right now tho ha!

Petrol Tanker Storm I like it. Bit of a beast though and is gonna be the envy of a lot of stormers.

Re: Me petrol Tanker pics!
i think it looks good mate, and 200 miles to a tank is great......
not sure if a tank pad or tank grips will highlight the tanks size?

Re: Me petrol Tanker pics!
Cheers guys, I can deffo tell a big difference when I'm sat on it but it does feel nice and not too big. Deffo won't be putting a tank bag in it tho lol, I'll need a cushion under me butt lol!
I can't wait to fill it and see how many miles ill get from it! I'm going to have to save my money up to fill it lol! Going to monitor the mileage and ill post it on here and let you know.
The mileage 'issue' was really starting to annoy me and was thinking of swapping it (really didn't want to tho!) but now Iv got more range it feels like a new bike!

170 and the red light will come on. Be careful not spill any petrol on the nice fresh lacquer. Even though it should be petrol resistant, it's still fresh and the longer you wait the better and watch out for bird sh1t.

Re: Me petrol Tanker pics!
Yeah I'm still a bit worried of catching it and was careful not to spill any petrol on it as I was swilling it out.
It must have been a fireblade top and a firestorm bottom then.
