I'm a bit late replying to this, but ... VFR fork tubes will fit into Firestorm sliders, using the VFR springs and cartridges. So for a low cost upgrade, Firestorm sliders, front wheel spindle and mudguard, VFR fork tubes with your Maxton internals, 4 pot Nissin calipers from a Firestorm, Fireblade or CBR6 and a suitable master cylinder. I got my Firestorm forks cheap because they were bent, and I already had a 14mm master cylinder (off a Speed Triple iirc), so my conversion came in at about £75

Hey those tanks are sure pretty and unfortunatly expensive! As this is a prototype that I don't even know if it will work yet; I thought it best to make things functional first and aesthetic second. This mad supercharged TL1000 built for hillclimbing has simular idea to what i'd planned to use. - without the supercharger/plenum :wub: Ok, I didn't know what your budget was but I thought £500ish was a good price for a custom built tank. The TL looks great. I wonder if it's for sale, it would be ideal for my commute :)

Some really impressive work here, both the designing and fabricating. :fing02: I know you were intending to fabricate a tank and use a CBR tank cover, but it might be worth getting in touch with these guys and have an alloy tank made. At least you know it would be watertight (or petroltight) and it would take your weight when you hang off the bike.
