Are you looking to add onto the stock tank, or a rear tank? We can offer both. If your not looking for custom there are all types of pre made 'tanks' you can add to the back of your bike. Rotopack, Etc...

A couple threads out there with a little info:

http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=766.0

And

http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=2975.0

I pretty much gave up on the idea and opted for a pair of RotopaX jugs.

Good luck!

TABASCO my Man, HELP!!!! Not sure if you know but I'm an IBA Nut and 240 miles to the tank is doing my head in.

I am looking for a Tank expanded upward and if needed a little outwards i.e. a total One Off!

CAN YOU HELP. I'm looking for another 100 miles so 12litres if at all possible but anything to take me up to 350 m to the tank. I do not want fuel cells and raer mounted as my Son rides with me 80% of the time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated ::021::

Cheers Ray

Whooooeee! ::015::
You serious about modifying the stock tank to pick up more capacity? Jaxon your the man. Have you done a Tenere tank yet or have solid ideas on how to make it happen? I know this has to cost a ton but keep the forum up to date on how you think this goes together. I too like Ray feel constrained by stopping every 200 miles or so to get gas. 8 gallons+ would be ideal.

Yes, Ive done the job many times on tanks. Many times on cruiser tanks. They wanted the stock look but wanted to travel much further. It is time consuming but can be done. Depending on how crazy a customer might want to get we can go just about as big as someone might want to go. 8gal should be do able. We can also provide the body work and repaint swell.. We can do it all, and have done this job many times....... I have not performed this job on a super tenere but the job is the exact same... If you or anyone want to see my cradentials of metal work you can google my name or I will be happy to send anyone pictures of work I have done... ::008::

Looking at the pictures of some of Jaxons work, I wouldn't be surprised if he could put a Tele Lever on the S10.

Now that would lead to some head scratching at Starbucks :D

You didn't just go there! ;D I have mad respect for Jaxon's work, but if he were to put a telegimmick on the S10 that would erase all of his geat work. What is it they say about 1000 'attaboys' forgotten after one 'aw sh#t?';)

If you google his name,, jaxon fyffe, you will see a few of his builds and a bio.
I have seen the mans work and he is an artist with metal. If I were to have something built, I would not hesitate to ask Jaxon to do it. As a disclaimer, I have not received, nor do I have any interest in Wild Card Customs..

Ray, have you talked to Phazer Phil? I don't know who did his tank, but he passed IBR Tech with it. I know, I was his inspector. Very nice work.

Hi EricV - I was with Phil this weekend at the Ihttp://trinityzxr750l1.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-great-way-to-start-2012.html BA UK RTE at Johns and to be honest seeing a Phil's and Kevin's conversions set the ball rolling.



Phil is nelt down at the left of the flag I'm on the far Right (looking fat - its the fleecy tucked into the trouses honest ::025::) and the little Guy on the right is Ben my son

I'll let you into a not too well kept secret Eric - I'm the Official IBA UK Ride Verifier ::021:: The guy who sits and maps out every ride submitted in the UK for IBA Approval ::008::

So yes is the simple answer I'm "One of the IBA UK Guy's" ::008:: and have spoken to PHil about his tank.

The thing is when you have some great skilled people over there in the USA why struggle over here trying to keep up, I say find the best and stick with em! J's the Man for me thank you very much ::015::
