    Touratech

    Two tanks, a 3-gallon front tank and a two-gallon rear rally tank are now available. The combined fuel capacity allows the G 450X to cover up to 550 kilometers (340mi) on a single fill-up and will turn the G 450 X into a true long-range rally machine.

    A rally-tested Touratech fairing assembly allows the G 450X to accommodate a computer and road book for navigation rallies and lends a serious Dakar Rally look to BMW's 450cc thumper. A strong, fiber-reinforced plastic fairing houses xenon & halogen headlights and provides wind protection for rally racing or serious adventures.

    Good stuff! There's a similar Safari setup for the 09+ Husabergs.

    Remove every time. Should be as simple as removing seat, remove bolt, disconnect quick connect fuel connectors, pull off tank.
