Just bought a bike (zrx1100) want to fit a carbon fibre petrol tank (aftermarket). Is it legal for the UK, looking on the manufacturers website (german) it looks like it could be TUV approved.

Carbon fibre? You seriously think I'd know anything about anything that modern.
Rust is lighter than carbon fibre.

Can't imagine that it's not. Plenty of featured streetfighters and sport bikes have them.
As long as your insurance covers it can't see an issue.

I'm thinking of aftermarket, not as standard fitment, wondered if was similar to fibreglass, they got banned in the early 70's i think.
