Hi here is a pic of the Elkamet/Touratech tank supplied with the special "Trofeo"conversion.

Anyone know Is it used on the Oryx or Schalber bikes?

Just confirmed, this is the same fuel tank as on a works BMW Rally bike with the Touratech bodywork installed. 100% Touratech.

There's a guy on the Dutch forum ("Originalteile") riding rallies on a works BMW F650. He confirmed that that was a one hundred percent Touratech center tank like on his Schalber.

They indeed use seperate tanks mounted left and right on the subframe. And the tanks they use left and right from the airbox/dummy tank. Total 5 tanks.
