Has anyone fitted the tenere tank onto the R, thats exrtra 7 lts and possibly a simple job ?

Having had both I would see a few problems.

1) The electrics/pipes should be quite easy as they use the same system.
2) The fitting of the tank is likely to be a problem as the frames are different. (although without seeing both naked and side by side its difficult to say)
3) The extra fittings on the Tenere tank (i.e. the protective covers and the fittings for the indicator/headlamp support) would make it look a bit silly.
4) I thinktThe seat stay at the back of the tank is different as the tool kit is stored at the same place.
5) I would guess the cost of the tank is enormous as there is a lot to it, not least of which is the completely unnecessary but beautiful metallic paint job.

Jenna,

There is a company here in Brazil that fabricates 22,5lts plastic tanks for Xt660s. See the link bellow:

It costs R$ 550 which is around 330 USD. I'm not sure how the shipping works. Let me know if you need any help with translation.

Cheers,
Leandro

Thats a bloody big improvement on the stock tank. Do they paint them up for you too or is that extra?

I'm not sure the option is even available. The do mention though that it comes in black or blue. If I'm not mistaken Robson Jabora/SC (member here) has used it for long trips.
