I have a Mugello 198, fitted a 'long range tank' and run a breathe sweet filter. Runs fantastic :D

I'm giving up on those tanks, too may clearance issues if you keep your toolbox. My advice is to fit a legshield toolbox and remove the in-frame toolbox that way you can fit 12 litre or 15 litre tank. Tanks that fill the whole space like Oiltek or Diablo look so much neater imo.

Agree with Corrado.....I have a 12L tank with cutout but the carb' (Mikuni tmx 35) still hits the tank......plus I can't fit petrol lever (due to both carb and tank).
