A mate of mine has an 800 intruder which tried setting fire to his goolies when the tank sprung a leak, he wants to fit a larger tank as the the tank thats on there dont hold alo. Any ideas?

few options
the more expensive - but best option, get one made up http://www.thetankshop.com/

i have 7 gallon fatbobs on my new trike project, they are big so may look out of place on an intruder

i understand that there are only two other places to get one from
one  is germany and the other is USA
for usa there is a guy who makes them and is registered on this forum (i dont know his name) but if you ask a general question they may be able to point you in the right direction http://www.intruderalert.com/cafe/index.cfm

For Germany
http://www.thunderbike.de/us/index.html
they do a 18ltr tank for 608 euros

i spoke to Wynne about this yesterday, and he said you are better off ordering them yourselves from usa or germany as with his price on top, they will be bloody expensive,

see i told you he was a very nice man  ;D  ;D
