Help locating 34L tank in Italy????
 

Hello All,

I have just finished a complete mechanical refurb on my cherished XT600 43F. Only 250km on the clock but all is going well. I have been lusting after the original 34L/55w fuel tanks for years and think one would be an excellent addition to finish off my machine.

Here in north america the Tenere bikes were never offered, just the small tank basic xt's so no Tenere tanks available here.

I'll be in Italy the week of Sept. 4-11 for a quick work/vacation. Cities I'll be visiting are Verona and Rome.

Parts I'm interested in are tank, seat, sidepanels. The tank is the only essential thing the rest can be bodged up to fit.

So:
Are there any Italian members out there that might have some dusty old Tenere bits on the shelf that they could part with?
Or:
Could any members point me in the direction of a reputable bike breaker in either Rome or Verona that might have these parts?

I know this project is a long shot. But unless I ask, I'll never know.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice in sorting this out.

Safe riding,

Pawlie

having the same bike (34L) and hating my tank size, I'm VERY interested in a tenere tank to fit mine. if you find a breaker with several in stock, please let me know, for me, that would be well worth buying.

Hi Bob,

I will indeed let you know if I turn up any goodies! Just need an Italian XTpert to point me in the right direction.

Ciao,

Pawlie
