VStrom Long Range Fuel Tank - 1000/650 2002-2013
« on: May 31, 2021, 11:15:49 »
I bought this professionally manufactured tank from CrazyHorse back in late 2013, with the intent to fit it to my 2005 KLV1000 (Tango) for a Euro tour in 2014.

It holds 28 litres, and should provide a range of close to 400 miles.

Unfortunately, an initial diagnosis of prostate cancer in Spring 2014 meant that I couldn't ride for at least 12 months, if at all.
The KLV was sold in the Autumn of 2014, along various accessories.

I kept the long range tank with a hope that one day I would buy another V-Strom - I never did  :whistle:

It was primed, ready to spray in the KLV Tango orange, and it's been boxed up and stored in the loft since then







I recall that it was for sale for quite a while, and I don't know how many older 2002-13 Vee/Wee are still on the road
Crazyhorse did have some pictures of the tank manufacture, but the link is lo longer working.

I will list it at £100, and I'm happy to travel within 100 miles of Preston to arrange a hand-over.

Regards to all after several years away.

Is there any interest at £75 collected, or £90 shipped within UK ?


It's heavy, and will cost around £15 to ship by signed for courier.

You could try here as well.

https://www.ironbutt.co.uk/w3/index.php

There are many members on there who have long range tanks.
