Gas tanks on the forks? NO!!!!
Maybe its just me, but did anyone else see the recent CSC Blog showing someones new RX3 with those - auxillary plastic fuel tanks mounted UP FRONT instead of the normal rear pannier location?
No Offense, BUT!!!! THIS IS A BAAAAAD IDEA!!! Plastic verses rock, gravel or even abrasive asphalt, or worse, concrete roadways, will pretty much simulate a cheese grater doing its thing to those tanks, putting fuel all over you, the bike, engine and some pretty hot exhaust pipes in short order!!! the chance of being engulfed in flame is Not trivial! I would advise a rethink of that installation.
