Huge tank and huge capacity, but O so ugly.

Went with the Rade garage underseat tank as I did not need cross the desert range
This has an extra 5.5 litres which should bump the total range upto 320-350kms
Also hate the way that those big tanks make the bike handle. Safari tank on my TE630 was awful ( not to mention that it leaked all the time ).

IMS have now also released aux tanks for the 701.
