I checked my LE tank against my biposto. The size of the tank you see is exactly the same size as the tank on the standard. There is a small difference in the piece which extends underneath the seat. I am guessing it is because of the different single seat unit. I believe what was being said before was meant to be....it comes with two exhausts, one which is street legal and comes on the bike and the spare racing exhaust. I will check these tonight and get back to you. I don't think the LE can will fit the standard tre though.
I was about to purchase an LE here in the US a couple of years ago, brand-new, and it came with 2 tanks. Carbon fiber tanks are not street-legal in the US. It also came with 2 exhausts, one street-legal and one not, and a set of different sized sprockets.
That is good to know as I plan on bringing my LE back to the states...I doubt that anyone in the recieving areas of a dock would know the carbon fibre tank from teh metal one but it is good info to know. What #Le are you loking at buying? Mine is 131.

I was going to be getting #69 in honor of Nicky. But I canned the whole idea when I was told I would have to have it serviced in Pennsylvania and would have no warranty. I live in California. So I ended up getting the standard Tre through GP Star in LA, much safer way to go (and just over half the cost of the LE).
Good idea and Elias is a great guy. I get the feeling that he takes care of his clients. Did you get the hydralic clutch option from him as well? Any extra goodies? post a pic when you get a chance.
Yep, I've known Elias for several years, met him at the track when racing with AFM. Definitely a good guy. I did get the Evoluzione hydraulic clutch upgrade, along with some fancy levers, and the carbon fiber kit with front/rear fenders, chain guard, and oil line guard. I got to enjoy the Tre for only 4 months before I broke my leg (luckily on a different bike!) so I am quite anxious to get back on it. I'll get some pics up shortly....
It was morbidly pricey :eek
The clutch upgrade was $500 including labor (that was done before delivery of the bike to me).
The fancy Evoluzione levers (which I'm not sure I like) were $165.
The Benelli factory CF kit was $700 including shipping.
Shoot me an email at [email protected]. I would like to talk with you about a few things as I will be due to come back to the states in a couple years.
Sorry it took so long, I haven't been on the forum in several days.... just sent you an email!
Hmm, it bounced, so is it "johnharbour" instead of "johharbour"?
