Subject: Re: Info about big tank for XRV
Hi to all,
some further information about the big tanks:
>For the RD04 a 42liters tank is available for 1799,-DM.
>For the RD07 a 45liters tank is available for 1799,-DM.
>For the RD04 a 56liters tank is available for 1899,-DM.
The tanks are also available at G=D6TZ, price is ~ 2300,-DM. According to=
the=20
description, the tanks available at G=D6TZ seam to be manufactured by=
Jaspers.
In the G=D6TZ catalogue, there is a photo of a @ ( RD07 ) with a 53 liters=
=20
tank AND a crash bow. Unfortunately, no details can be obtained out of that=
=20
picture. But the crash bow seams to be at least modified; there is a "net"=
=20
of wire at the side of the crash bow.
If someday someone gets the idea to manufacture a crash bow on his own,=20
please let us all know - at the last meeting we had a great variety of=20
different crash bows - during the last 2 weeks I saw two new types.
Normal one: Front:
__________ ______O O______
/
/P
/
______/__________ ______O O______
( 'O': screw-points )
With this construction, there are several ways for the bow through the=
motor:
at mine, there is a bow through the motor-room, also at the old=20
Hepco & Becker
Another one: crash bow is screwed to the tank at the lower screws of=
the
plastic part ('P')
The one from JR: (hope I drawed it right :-))
__________ ______O O______
/ =20
/ ___ ______O_________O______
/ / =20
______/______/___ ______O_________O______
Has a "three-point-construction":
crash bow is screwed at 3 points to the bike at the front
A new one (from Hepco & Becker):
__________ ______O O______
/xxxxxxxxx/
/---------/
/ /
______/_________/ ______O_________O______
(The 'x' represent a wire-net (gasket))
The one from G=F6tz ("Rallye-Africa-Twin-with-53-liter-tank": :-))

Maybe it is possible to extend an existing crash bow to fit the new tank??
