Beautiful work!

These are metal tanks no? So forks and rear shock had to be resprung right?

What is the weight empty and with the whole Exxon Valdez loaded?

Man, what a beauty.

I try to answer.
The stickers are produced from a friend Emanuel & co, you'll find on ebay under africa twin stickers. These were specific for this bike.
My tanks are in aluminium, really lighter than the original. The rear tank is also the frame, there is not the original under seat frame, just the tank. I didn't get the weight of the bike jet but it is really lighter than the stock one. At least 20 kg less.

I would NOT have guessed lighter. This is just phenomenal work.

Great job Gpmucci!

The rear rim is a 3.00X18?

DoctorAbo · 10-11-2012, 06:51 AM

GPMUCCI, this is a rewarding result

. Although it is a bit heavy silhouette, it is very impressive. How many kilometers in one tank fill ?
