Can anyone tell me where to buy or would anyone like to flog me a smart or tatty filler for my manta tank what I bought? Just got round to trying it on the 'touring' S1 and love the look and the idea of the extra juice but found that the filler is appx 1.3mm different on the hole centres and 1.4mm on the overall diameter. So it, um, doesn't fit. Hardly annoying at all. Reluctant to butcher.

Well yes everything's always for sale, but it comes with a quite tired S1 that's been waay out west and down to france and up to shetland and even out in the rain already this year, so needing a fair bit of work as you can see from my other posts. Less interested now I guess....

Last night I compared the fillers for my S1 (narrow tank) and S1w (manta ray tank) and they are the same, holes line up and everything.

Am I missing something here? :shock:

Dunno - my S1 job is deffo about 1% too bigg for the manta holes and overall size - used a posh measuring stick and was sober and everything. Don't fancy the aftermarket ones thanks anyway Maz.

Anyone got a filler off of any tuber tank bigg or small so I've a spare for butchering?

Wasn't suggesting for a moment that you'd want an aftermarket jobbie......Newton Enginering in London make the fillers that Buell use and DT sell them :roll:
