Thanks Baz, didn't realise a 2003 foxeye tank would fit. A near-300 mile range would be wonderful!
Having said that, I'll probably stick with my existing tank until it rusts through.
I guess the mod you refer to is much the same as I've done to my tank... a hole drilled through the filler neck to allow filling below the bottom of the tube.
Incidentally, if any MkI owners want to do this to an older style tank with the long filler tube, don't drill through the left side of it like I did. The two breather pipes run up that side and I was damn lucky not to go through one of those too which would have pretty much written the tank off. (And obviously, take the usual precautions... red hot swarf and petrol vapour are a bad combination.) :lol
