This site in Germany offers a 28liter tank:
http://www.off-the-road.de/enduro/zubehoer/verkleidung.html
Very expensive, but hey, there are not many options.
When I e-mailed them, they said that it would take about one week for them to assemble and ship. They were very responsive the e-mails that I sent. |

I would love a bigger tank on my Baggy - but not for 859 euros!!
Most road bikes seem to be 16 to 20 ltr tanks - does anyone know of an alternative that may fit (with a little messing about)?
I know that KTM have a similar tank, and they are cheaper to buy, or would something like a tenere XTZ tank fit?
It's a same these bikes are so rare - it means we have to do a lot of digging to find the answer, but then, that half the fun of owning a bike anyway!!

I will only run out of ways of modify the Baggy when it weighs less that 100 kg and runs 100 bhp at the back wheel!!

In the States, there is another option. www.tourtank.com offers a 2 gallon tank that looks like a bed roll and comes with mounts for putting on rear fender. Plumbing included. Looks like a good option, and am thinking of doing that myself, as that should raise my range to about 225 miles or so. Sells for US$149. They also have a 3.5 gallon tank, but I've not researched it.

I just finished mounting a 18 liters KTM tank and KTM seat. I bought the tank from DEmark on this forum. I'm satisfied with the result, Especialy the seat comfort.
I tried to attach a picture but got this:
Sorry, but the maximum filesize for all Attachments is reached. Please contact the Board Administrator if you have questions.
even if I made the image very small
Edit: I have posted the pics under my "personal album"

MZ do not make an increased capacity fuel tank for the Baghira as an official option. It would seem that the only way to get more miles from a tank is to use less throttle. Sorry.

SOME ONE SAID
" use less throttle"
WHEN IT'S A 125CC BIKE ALL THAT DOES IS GET YOU PASSED BY
TOMOS MOPEDS (WITH A 70CC HOP UP KIT AND BICYCLES
we have a guy here with a tomos streetmate that i have clocked
at over 55mph all he needs is wings and he's gone
here in wv we have to put plates and ins just like on a rt125
so the guy's hop them up and fly on them
