Looking good.
A Dakar tank from an R80GSPD should fit with a bit of work.

Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!![]()
She would hunt you down and...................
looking good! Hope the hobbit is enjoying her toy & hope to meet up sometime.
I made and painted a bracket for the bike computer last night and fitted it this morning. And as you do, I went for a wee ride via the Waimak & Oxford to calibrate it. This was the first real ride on this thing and I was very impressed with it. Its certainly no chook chaserbut as a wee adventure bike for SHMBO it's ideal. It's a sweet handling we thing. The track thru the Waimak was pretty rough with parts of it recently re-shingled if you can call baseball size stones shingle, a few creek crossings, a bit of sand, mud and the odd bit of good shingle track. Over all a much rougher ride than we'd envision for it. Given that the front wheel is 18" and limited suspension travel it coped well, just at a slower pace

How was that ford?
Last time I went through the other way,just over a month ago,the bike ended up on it's side on the grassy bank on the right of your pic almost facing back where you are.Don't ask how,I still haven't figured it out.It's a tricky little crossing and is a bit deeper than it looks.
Nevermind the Bollocks
It was great,I could get to Greymouth and almost home
Just a bit too bigger tank for me off the seal,so I would use a R80RT tank most of the time.Just made the beautiful beast just that bit slimmer....
Gaston Rahier was just a small man.....but yeah that tank was massive!!
