Do any of you knowledgeable, experienced airhead gentlemen recognise what fuel tank this is in the photo please.

I'm guessing it's handmade in alloy, but maybe not, maybe an off the shelf, specialist tank?

Details or recommendations of a maker of this type of tank would be gratefully received. (Not the HPN Acerbis one please)

This looks like a glass fibre one I’ve seen before but I can’t remember who made it. SWT in Germany are having a similar design made by Acerbis not to be confused with the old HPN one.
 
That’s an aluminium SIG tank. The bike belongs to 2Gses who is a member of this forum

Thanks very much. I've done a quick google but couldn't find anything. Any link to a source or more information please.

TIA
 
A slightly better photo

Just beautiful........I love the rounded profile at the front.

I'm going to have to have something fabricated, yours is the only tank that I've seen that really cuts it like the mid 80s Dakar bikes.

Fair play, it's lovely. How on earth did you track it down?

There was one for sale recently, I think it was either on mobile.de or eBay.de (can’t recall) for about €2000. You could try getting holtworks to make you one though. His tankwork is superb

Thank you very much.
 
It seems to be somewhat bigger than 2gses variant and IMO not as pretty, but still worth exploring if I can ship by my own UPS account and not pay £400 shipping :eek::eek::eek:
 
Is this the same tank as the first post? Either way looks good.
