Evoluzione list their dealers on their website. 3 are shown in the UK - one of which was RSVR but there are 2 others to try:

Alternatively you could make your own - there's a drawing of a diy one on the forum ..... if I can find the link ....

EDIT:
It was posted up by Falcomunky in this thread:

Here are some of the pics:

There was another diy design on (the now defunct) C-Plus' site. I've a pdf of that if you are interested - just PM me your e-mail address and I'll send it to you.

Take a look at the link
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kennzeichenhalter ... 911.c0.m14

I have just ordered one. Made an offer of 23 euro that was accepted. Looks pretty good for the price. I'll update when it arrives and its fitted.

Perhaps we can place a group order if it's OK?

Are you talking about the big scottoiler touring tank that's designed to go behind the number plate or just the normal cylindrical reservoir?
If it's the latter there are loads of places (mine's under the rider's seat above the battery). If it's the big tank ..... not sure .....

It sounds like mrapriliafalco's Falco has the touring high-capacity reservoir fitted. The only option I'm aware of is to fit the LubeTube (a Scottoiler add-on) in place of it. This is much more flexible (quite literally) in placement; mine fits round the edges of the pillion under-seat area.

:smt045 That' what I did too, great piece of kit holds enough oil for lots of miles (200cc IIRC) I think the touring kit takes 400 or 500cc so twice as many fill up's, but less plumbing and it's easily hidden.

Hopefully the photo's will work.
OK, fitted the tail tidy today. Firstly removed all of the original hardware, plate, carrier, indicators etc. Then offered the bracket to the undertray, marked and drilled the holes. (the holes in the bracket line up with the original metal carrier) but I chose to fix to the undertray as it made it higher.
Removed the number plate light. I had to redrill the holes in the bracket as they did not line up. Easy enough. Then fitted the original number plate light to the plate holder.
Fitted new small indicators. I used bullet connectors crimped to the leads. The number plate light lead connector would not fit through the hole I drilled in the bracket (the largest drill I had) so I cutt the wires, fed them through and reconnected using bullet connectors again.
The angle of the plate holder can be adjusted and to get the angle I wanted I had to lengthen the indicator leads.
Hope this helps. The tail tidy is pretty good quality really for the price. Easy to fit with minimal modification to fit it the way I have. I think it looks much better especially without those huge indicators. There is also a bracket to fit a reflector to but I have'nt bothered with that. Let me know if you need any other info.

Just bwant to compare it to the standard one!
