Express - 20 or 25 days to received the tank - US$154,00*
*including tax
The payment is about PAYPAL

The quote I asked for was shipping to Victoria. I am hoping to purchase one soon for some outback trips. I will let you know how it goes after I find funds, wait for postage and get someone to fit it for me.
Approx $600 AU for a larger tank including postage looks a hell of a lot more attractive than the OTR one for somewhere around $1200 AU without postage. I may have to invest in some crash bars because from what i have heard the gilimoto tank is not as strong as the fibre OTR. But the good thing is I can easily afford crashbars and new riding kit with the $600 saving. I might even shout myself a new set of panniers :toothy9:

Yep it looked so attractive that I ordered one the other week :D.
It should be here in a couple of weeks so will let you know how it all goes.
I have Hepco Becker crash bars on mine so all should be fine. I find most plastic tanks survive a little better than glass fibre in an off (yes have tested both haha) so would not worry to much but still get the crash bars.
After just getting back from a three week 6000km trip to outback SA I was a little sick of having to fill up every 230-260km. I carried two Roto-pax which I had to use several times but a bigger tank is the only answer if you want to head west.
Will let you know how it fits up, should have my bike clean by then, well most of that SA dust out anyway haha
