At a guess I'd say I'd get maybe 1200 or 1300kms out of it if I ran it dry...

Does it hang down much under the rear??

Baz.

Have you considered sill tanks instead? I've opted for them over the larger main tanks because of the larger fuel capacity (60 liters each I think) and hardly any loss of ground clearance or over hang issue at the back.

They are a pig to fill though, I use a large flexible funnel with a length of silicone hose stuffed down the neck.
The transfer of fuel to the main tank at the rear is also slow but this isn't really a problem.
