Isnt the corsa tank carbon though?

No. It is 4.5kg of Aluminium loveliness! There was a carbon one available though.

been looking at alli tanks on ebay and wondering what I could get to fit; some of those norton and triumph one,s oh and TZ ones, seems decent value rather than a custom made if it can be fitted.

Most of the bikes mentioned above have a spine frame so their tanks are unlikely to fit

yep noticed they do, well the ones with pics shown upside down

think its either off the shelf, like Ron has, or custom job like Ghost's (altho not as extreme!)

lets see what the winter brings....mine will probably be just as much a rat bike come March as it is now!

The only thing I would say is you 'might' have problems with the airbox and igniter boxes (mine was tight, and it seemed to have a bigger void under the tank - though it is hard to tell).... Although a lot of people have relocated those anyway. The front mount on this one is a little different to mine, but it looks like you might just need a little plate to bolt it to.

I still have a little external pump on mine, not the one in the tank, because the 888 (I think) was fuel injected with a much higher pressure pump.
