Awesome!

A mod like this really solves the only real negative this bike has!

Bigger tanks have been available (very expensive) in aluminum.......this one is all plastic just like the stock tank.

25l is pretty big and the setup looks pretty straight forward.

Thanks for posting this here Mark.... Just saw it on the StarVmax site. I will be anxiously waiting for more details about it!

Without any knowledge of the pricing I can say with confidence. .......it will be expensive! LOL

Well over $1000 I would guess, but how much over is anybody's guess. It's very expensive to design and build a part like that and the market is very small. To make their money back they will have to charge a lot.

You are probably right. The tank is called 3k... maybe a hint at the price! LOL.

I wonder if the OEM back seat will still bolt up. And also, if the OEM backrest & luggage rack will fit.

This tank and a set of chrome wheels would probably have me satisfied until the Gen III comes into play. Well, maybe a turbo setup too.

I'm pretty sure the seat in the video fits in the oem mounting and lock locations.

Sale pending!

 

[Johnc1go]

I'll buy it if they can keep the price reasonable, will it help me get over 30mpg? Ha!

 

[yubamike]

I also saw they were working on a drive shaft cover for the 240 tire.

Sale pending!

Srsly?

 

[TnVmax]

Wow, I hope the cost is reasonable! I'd love to go more than 100-miles between fill-ups (and that's the most I've ever got!)

I could have used that bigger tank saturday night on some Pa backroads . Out alone and gas gauge blinking with no gas stations in sight . I actually let off throttle pulled clutch in (double d) right arm behind back as I crouched closer in to faux tank while heading down long steep mountain road of course clinching my ass hoping I would make it without hitting a deer . I made it to a gas station and was about couple miles from hotel but didn't really have a clue where I was . I believe if I remember right I had 12 miles on reserve trip meter .I forgot to look at how much gas I purchased .

Yeah...that's not a good feeling.

You had at least 10 more miles worth if gas left. 25 miles on that meter is about as far as I would push it. I usually fill up at about 10-15 miles on the meter and it usually take 3.2 - 3.3 gallons.

Good to know Mark I was thinking maybe knocking on a door and offering 20 bucks for a gallon . Would have been worth it for not having to push
