Put it back to standard ?

[Garry H]

I have got my old basic back
It has had a PD tank single seat and rack fitted as per picture

But i like the bike in standard trim

Question is keep it as it is or return it to standard

Tough call, but I wouldn't be able to resist that beautiful P/D tank...

 

[Timpo]

PD tank gets my vote Garry.....

 

[John Armstrong]

If your going to use / abuse the bike / tank, put the small one on.

If it's not going to get abused, then the big tank makes the bike look "right", IMO.

i like the small tanks better, but i would say that as that's the only one i have

what do you prefer, fit or fat?

Put it back to standard and sell me the single seat and rack please.

 

[tangle foot]

Standard please .

Looks crap with the pd stickers on the tank and the orange seat. Far to many colours going on.

Standard seat, White tank with the kalahari stickers and a White flyscreen and you'll have the best looking airhead ever made.

Got agree with Rob but I am biased. BMW just got it so right with the standard Basics

Exactly like Rob says: "best looking airhead ever made"....!!!

Standard looks great, the PD tank looks bulbous.

Beat me to it Rob..
Kalahari stickers will sort the tank.

I think 2wheelhumvee still does Kalahari stickers

fuck all will sort the paralever tho'

It may be 'of its time' but I reckon that tank is an absolute classic

 

[TONY G]

have to agree with rob farmer then it will look just like mine

Looks a little odd without the handguards and with those nasty grey grips... I must say that I prefer the smaller G/S tank to the PD one on a Basic though, as others have said, the large tank would suit the machine better in Kalahari trim

My thoughts too. Put a pair of handguards back on and it'll look much more like it should.

It's not like it's a big job swapping the seat and tanks over when the need arises is it.

Whilst the Kalahari stickers would make the tank look better, is it not wiser to keep it in it's original factory perpaired colours?

Would they not look even stranger on your yellow bike?

I have no taste, so that's not a problem.

Anyway I've still got a couple of litres of yellow paint that could act as a 'cure all'

Yellow is the new black

Keep it as it is Gary, otherwise it's just another f'ugly basic
