.... but then, you do have the fiddle and cost of pumps etc.... but you can pick up a 916 tank for less than 200GBP.... and they are a nice shape..... but it is a bit more work than most would bother with....

Doing a 916 tank conversion at the moment on the 620 Monster I bought off Steve Mason
Tank = £60
Fuel Pump = £40
916 Airbox to chop the bottom out of £35
Existing Filler cap will fit and if I wasn't planning on using the 620s pump in Neals Alloy Tank I could be recouping some of my money

So hopefully a cheap conversion
