I've just rebuilt my Mugello 225 engine to replace the RB and it completely escaped me that the carb cut out is on the other side!

Any recommendations on a good 15 litre plus tank?

I totally agree. I have one and it's the best tank there is, but I need another and I believe there is a back order for them.

Just call him and tell to get on with it :lol:

TS1 and PX stay in the garage (future barn finds) out on the GTS 300 when I go out on a scooter.
I know I’ll get there and back

Corrado sells them with a cut out on both sides, 11 or 12 litres i think.

Thanks for kind comments guys.
Your looking at about 8 weeks lead time at the minute Bilko. Might be willing to trade for at least some of the cost for parts you have or take your old tank in part exchange for a new one. Give us a bell.

Mark you can't cut out the other side unfortunately because the cutouts are so deep now. It would be very thin there and you'd lose the baffle inside. We used to do one like that which was popular but when AF brought out the Rapido 250 it forced us into an overdue cutout mod.
