Rear fuel tanks for Africa Twin
 

Has anyone had experience of using/fitting the 15 litre rear fuel tanks from Africa Queens on an Africa Twin?

Do they require a lot of work to get them to fit in the first place? Does the extra weight alter the bike's handling noticeably? Are there seperate valves for each tank? Can the original exhaust and rear rack be retained?

I'm trying to evaluate the advantages of fitting rear tanks against an oversize front tank. Adding rear tanks to a standard bike would bring the fuel capacity to 41 litres, whereas an oversize front tank can be purchased in 46 and 51 litre sizes. 41 litres of fuel in 3 seperate chambers may have less influence on the bike's handling than 46 litres sloshing around in one chamber. I'd like people's advice on this.

Thanks in advance.

Iain.
