At Metmachex they don't know. Suggestions? Experiences?

Thank you!

i'd guess at yes, the shorty tail is still the same dimensions around where it bolts to the frame as the original and you're not going to be using the plastic undertray.

The standard tank fits with the shorty tail, so I don't see why not.
It's on my wish list

Well the metmachex tank is a little bigger, should have a liter more capacity.

That's because the Metmachex tank requires the battery positive and earth leads to be re-routed around the tank and it fouls the main circuit breaker wiring, otherwise it takes up the same space within the subframe.....I dont like their oil tank on X1's !

Hmm I think I don't fully understand: can you explain more clearly? I'm a poor italian noob

Anyway, from this picture it should fit without problems, but doesn't seems very nice above the battery

= you will have to make new routes for the wires of the battery and the circuit-breaker.


As above, that's why Maz doesn't like them on X1s.

"Make new routes for the battery wires" is an easy task or means cutting and rewire ?

any other pictures? can't find any of X1 and metmatchex tank!

They would probably need to be made longer.

.....or shorter and routed down in front of the battery....the Metmachex tank doesn't have the channel for the cables.
In that picture, you can actually see the breaker wiring touching the top of the tank

Jeez, ANOTHER bike without a front mud guard. It'll have f***ing knobbly tyres fitted next.

what about the color?



Well I have to admit I am considering buying the Metmachex tank. The wiring (still don't sure about the mening of "breaker wiring" ) is a little problem which can be solved, but the design doesn't convince me. The space above the battery doesn't have a good look. I've found other pictures (with fender ):




this is probably better looking, and it's custom made (not by metmatchex):

...'breaker wiring' is short for 'circuit-breaker wiring', meaning the wires that go to the circuit-breaker. The circuit breaker is the little aluminium box with two terminals near the battery; it is a type of thermal fuse that 'breaks the circuit' if there is too much current passing, but then cools down and resets itself (unlike a fuse that has to be replaced). Metmachex forgot it was there when they designed their oil tank...

ah, ok! thank you. I totally forgot where the circuit breaker is located.
