Jeez, you'd need to take out a loan to fill them.

And that must make for a lot of extra weight.

petrol weights about 0.75kg/l
so an extra 117kg of fuel.

Plus the tank, brackets, fixings etc.

That fuel capacity will be awesome for touring and midnight runs when no fuel stations are open. I agree though, the OE plastic tank weighs nothing. I'm not sure what tanks you're getting, but my LRA ones are very heavy. Shame they're not plastic also.

assuming 50kg + 30 + 30

Hey, there is a problem with the mount on the rear companion tank that will crack the chassis and cause that tank to fall out. The rear crossmember that it mounts to wasn't designed for loads and it cracks around the main chassis rail until it snaps. This is because that member goes into the sidewall of the chassis and not the top and bottom plates of the chassis. To fix this you will need to remove the rear bumper and weld the inside of the chassis so that the forces the area by mking the forces go from the top of the crossmember into the top of the chassis rail. Its not a big or difficult weld, just a bit tight. You must do this and when I spoke to LRA about it they really didn't want to know about it. I've got sill tank to install also, but thats still sitting in the garage as it has been for the last 7 years.
