Also interested in one of these plates!

I was thinking that as long as the tanks are all the same as far as dimensions, whatever is made in aluminum should be close enough to fit the plastic fairing. But who knows, if it doesn't fit I either will have to modify the bike or sell the tank... or just buy a V11 sport... not a big deal either way

I am going to have the Tank Shop make one. They said they can make a V11 tank from previous fabrications. I am just having the stock tank remade in aluminum.... Ive been stationed oversees for a while and its going to be a little gift for myself for when I get home. Before I start asking them questions about their mold I figured I would try to get some general information on v11 tanks... as I cant even look at mine. But I am putting it on a 2002 Le Mans... and they probably have a mold for a sport... so I am hoping that I hear there are no differences.

I am going to go through with it and going to have an aluminum tank made. Just to be sure, there are no differences between the V11 tanks other than foam pad/fuel pumps right? Even between the sport models and Le Mans?

Wait, so the stock tanks dont hold up... and the aluminum tanks also are affected by ethanol? What options are there? Couldn't you just use some sort of sealant inside the aluminum tanks? Beautiful bikes by the way.

Hello everyone, I dont post much, but read these forum topics quite frequently. Anyways, I have seen some aluminum V11 tanks around online... and was wondering how to go about getting one. Last time I called the tank shop, they said they needed an actual bike there to recreate a tank after I offered mailing my tank to them. Anyone know any other companies around that will do it for a reasonable price? Also, do V11 tanks change between models and years? I know some have internal/external fuel pumps, but is there anything else drastic about the tanks? Thanks, Craig

I tried calling the Tank Shop and the man I spoke to said they dont have a bike anymore. I also emailed that German shop and they said the same thing, they would need a template bike. Besides some bikes having internal and others external fuel pumps, are there any differences in the tanks on V11s? Anyways, just wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what to do. I wont be back in the states for a while so I was hoping to order a tank now so it might be ready when I get home. Thanks for the help, Craig

Hello everyone, Just wondering if anyone knows a place that will make a decent aluminum fuel tank for a 2002 Le Mans? The only problem I am running into is that places want a pattern bike (the tank shop)... yet I currently live in Egypt. Kind of at a loss! Thanks everyone, Craig
