I don't think so Wicky. The graphics are certainly different but that probably doesn't mean anything. On my tank the wings graphic is much bigger. I'll post a pic later Im working right now.

Ignore the graphics as they've been added - The VFR's tank is the only tank (that I know of) that has been modded to fit onto the Storm (VTR).

Wicky there may be some misunderstanding the tank is not on the bike, it's a spare that came with the bike. But it is visually (at least to me) different as I described to Tweety

So our tanks are 4.2 gallons? I guess I've never really pushed it past the point that the light comes on but it seems I usually put 3.2-3.4 gallons in it once it hits that point How big is the reserve after the light comes on? Is there really nearly a full gallon left after the light comes on? I thought I read somewhere that the tank was only a 3.4 gallon tank.

What is the astronomical price that you've seen on the 5 gallon tanks? And how would one in the US go about ordering one? Do any of you guys from the countries they were delivered to have a part number? I HATE that when my friend with a blackbird and I go ride it seems I fill up twice to his once. Between the VTR being a gas hog by comparasin and having a smallish tank the range really sucks!
