This arrived in the post yesterday. It's a 42 litre fuel tank for a RD04 Africa Twin. I bought it from Rugged Roads and it was shipped directly from Boano in Italy. Rugged Roads are very pleasant and easy to deal with and the whole process only took a couple of weeks.
Boano was one of the Marathon Africa Twin pilots back in the Paris Dakar in the late eighties/nineties and has been manufacturing Marathon parts based on the original bikes for some time.

The standard tank holds about 23 litres and weighs about 9kg dry. The Boano tank surprisingly, weighs in at 8kg.
|
 |
The profiles of the two tanks are similar, but the Boano tank seems to have additional volume to the rear of the filler cap.
|
 |
There's a very noticeable difference in plan.

 |
It's big! Scary big!
