I've seen that done on the CX tank before and it looks quite good. It can be top heavy though and a 200+km range isn't too bad really for my purposes. Plus i get the feeling the seat i have in mind might be a little less comfy than the stock job so the 200km rest stops might be neededSwagger said:The black and white ought to really look nice. If you've got a second CX tank, I'd slice the two together, raise the top surface say...2-3", not only would you have more fuel capacity but would carry forth the Teutonic look just a bit further. Fun bike.

I picked up a couple of bags today that i was going to use as panniers. I'm a bit undecided. Maybe if i drag em behind a car for a few miles and give em a bucket of bleach in the washing machine they might come up alright. Opinions are welcome.
