Thinking of fitting an Acerbis tank as the original side panels are not good and have been repaired a few times by the look of them when I got them off. I am unsure if the side panels will fit with the Acerbis tank as there does not appear to be anyway on the tank to put the front rubber retaining thingy's in. I can buy from Fowlers of Bristol the necessary rubber inserts and bolts to mount the panels which will be an improvement on the self tapping screws that were fitted by previous owner!
Question if tank is replaced with the Acerbis type do I have to change the side panels or is something available from a different model or how do I get around the (as I see it) problem?
Also the header pipes are not great so was looking at Stainless replacement from these guys....
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Headers-Head ... 1102205109. A German company. Has anyone had any dealings with them or can you recommend some other company?
Sorry for being a bit thick but just finding my way around the bike but do honestly appreciate the help which is available from this forum.
Regards Reg.
thank you
