Bigger fuel tank
Interested?
Maybe www.ca-cycleworks.com is the answer. Remember the replacement fuel tank for the MHe?
Why not E-mail them.

I was looking at the fuel tank on the HYM, thing is massive overall. Because it was made to do more than hold fuel I can see making a replacement is going to be costly, none the less I woild be interested in one.

email sent.
My guess is it will come in at the same price as the multistrada. I'm okay with that... as long as it's still sexy

Style of our bike wont change with a bigger fuel tank as the dummy radiator shrouds will remain the same - no way to get a bigger tank thru that trellis frame.
Have a look between your seat and fuel tank, there's at least 1 1/2" of wasted air space. If you fit a full Zard Top Gun (twin cans) the room left over from flapper and servo motor removal would also allow massive expansion to the right and rear.
All dirt bikes have plastic tanks, that split and get rewelded etc. so why not mount the battery where the cat used to be, or under the front cylinder. Then ....
"Adding the mass to the bericentre to increase the agility in the flip-flop considerably". Something Guiseppe Ghezzi & Bruno Saturno once wrote about a bike they were building.

I imagine around $900 like the other bike you mentioned?

Drop by the local dealer...
Good word.. it's a Kit "Larger Gas tank with pod filters" ... as they have to remove the Airbox for more room... I hear they need total 20 or so orders...
I'm totally on board... who doesn't want to get more range... and better performance... can we send a joint email... get people on a list...
