Long range tank choice

Hi
Lots of options for tanks available.. I am not after the slab sided look and have seen these (pic below) on offer by Beedspeed which look similar to those on TSR website. dont neccesarily need it in SS, just require some nice curves
Anyone using these or have any experience of them.. have heard that these may be a bit on the heavy side.. they seem to be a lot cheaper than others on offer and wanted some user feedback if possible
Thanks

Thanks.. i currently have the tool box conversion .. fuel pi55ing out from somewhere (everywhere), and am looking to bin these as the lower tank to tank hose interferes with the carb. From where does one obtain the Diablo tank and whats the cost... thanks for feedback, although if anyone has used one of the tanks in the photo I would still like to hear some user thoughts.

Fitted a couple of these for mates,a bit fiddly on the mounting brackets but tank does the job.Not recommended with welded up toolbox doors but can be overcome with some some thought.

Diablo uses this forum, PM him. He's a top bloke, who'll not screw you over.
I have one of his tanks for my 250 build and it's a piece of p155 to fit and really looks superb

this tank is a tw@7 to fit and its cut outs are too shallow,it's shiney and blingy ,the diablo one is the best ive used and easy to fit whether you have sausage fingers or play the piano!
