yep been there done that, T3/convert tank will fit on a newer tonti, as long as you remove the airbox. Got one on my Cali vintage.

sorry guys, the only camera I have has film inside it. Next time I have a roll to finish up I'll snap some, but then I develop myself in my friends dark room and he's currently in Chile, so it won't be instant!

Thinking about it, you could fit the air box minus the lid. But the noise is very very very LOUD in a very annoying way especially on long rides.

If you're losing the airbox it really is not a problem. You fix it to the frame with two bolts and spacers at the front and then I strapped mine down at the back, but a tab could be welded on to fix the tank down at the back easily enough if you wanted to go the whole hog.

hope that helps.

We'll give you the map reference for an active webcam, so that you can park in front of it.

Stand by!    (o;

ha. nice idea!

Or I could ride down a bus lane in London, the council send you the footage about 2 weeks later, pretty pricey though for what you get.

How about buying a digital camera, they're cheap now? Or maybe your phone? you can click away for free then. I used to love working in the darkroom and taught photography, but I couldn't be without a digital camera now. Everyone's a photographer now!

I used to love developing film and printing in my bedroom as a teenager with donated kit and my grandad's old camera - it's a magical process. Still got my enlarger in the hope I might set it up again one day - but yes, digital is so much easier.
