Aluminium tank instead of the original one which was made of sheet metal to improve the accumulation of rust and dust and to protect the filters better.

4 new Avon 185 R tyres which are more stable than the original two-tone tyres. These tube tyres are mounted on the original 5 inch wide stainless steel rims.
