Looks neat, but a lot of $. I might do it if I hadn't bought a RRC tail... these two purchases combined would cost what the whole bike is worth.

I think that is an S3 tank, it should bolt right on. |

Yep-What Rjn said. They have some nice stuff for tubers on there. If my calculations are correct the tank is over $600. If you get one Brett be sure to post some pics of it installed. |

I found better! just got out of the phone with a friend in Italy, he works the carbon fiber. he can make me an S1 tank in carbon fiber, also the tail. good price... if anyone interested, let me know. I'll probably do both... |

Can he do the above X1 molded tank in CF? |

I don't think so, it would be a stock tank covered in CF. to do a brand new molded tank all in CF it'd cost a fortune! |

I don't see myself dropping 6 large for a tank on a bike that won't fetch 3 grand these days. |

Bikes in any form do not make sense math wise... That's why I recommend keeping investments and hobbies separate. |

Looks to me like you've invested plenty in your hobby, and so have I. |
