Plastic fuel tank

[kafri77]

Hi

I would like to try and mount a lighter fuel tank on my Kalahari.
except of the HPN/Acerbis tanks, are there any other tank from other bikes that can be fitted? (with some modifications)

thanks

Nir

You could go with a Safari tank for a DR650 ala Paul Rooney.

Looks good from afar, but I'd be amazed if it doesn't look a dogs dinner close up. That tank must be perched up way above the BM frame

Dont rule out the HPN tank, petrol sits v.low, so imho the offroad handling is much better. But you need to be disciplined not to fill it with too much petrol.

Otherwise TAG in Italy make kevlar variants of the two G/S tanks.
