    I was filling the bike up last week and was surprised at the small capacity, the tank looks near-enough four gallons but it’s not. Looking under the tank, there seems to be a lot of wasted space, at least on the T100.

    One of the things I always liked about Meriden Triumphs was the slim-line, American-style tank. Anyone know of any supplier for a tank like that?

    What year is your T100? If it's EFI (2009 on) the fuel pump is inside the tank so swapping for a slimline tank will not be straightforward.

    It’s a 2013 865cc model.

    That answers another puzzle, there were various references to pump positions on the Tank Shop website which I didn’t understand.

    Lovely things the old Bonnie's with the USA slim line tank. You hop from garage to garage and hope to make it.
    Ride safe
