New long range tank

Post by old betsy »

Well after my last ride. I felt that I needed a little bit more of a fuel range.
15l or 450km really is not enough, so onto the internet looking for an increase.
So I found the solution
So I'll be doing some modifications from this

Installing this

To look something like this. I just put it onto my work TW to see what it would look like. No to bad I don't think.
So now it would be 23l or 650km

Most problems can be solved with a suitable application of throttle!

Looks good Mike.
Only fuel in tank above float bowl in Carby will be usable though.

The tank isn't sitting properly in the photo so all fuel will be sitting above the carby when installed
