dave5.0 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Sweet! So the main tank feeds this tank and this tank feeds the carbs? Quote
thomas h. Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Bummer about no reserve but if the pep cock was vertical their would Quote
rubberneck Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Bummer about no reserve but if the pep cock was vertical their would It appears he is feeding it off of the stock petcock location so there is no reason you couldnt leave that on reserve Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Rad. Have you fully compressed the rear suspension with the tank mounted yet? Quote
ban99 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 Bummer about no reserve but if the pep cock was vertical their would Still have the reserve on the main tank. Also if I were to put a 90 degree bend on the reserve side inlet on the petcock I could have had a reserve on the secondary tank as well, just didn't seam necessary. Quote
ban99 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 that /\ ? what type of air filters do you plan to run with this ? doesn't appear to leave much room for them ? In running 35 mm kheinin carbs with kn pods, no issues with clearance. As for compressing the suspension, there also are no clearance issues. It doesn't occupy any more space than the stock air box. 1 Quote
FullThrottle_06' Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Damn good idea and the tank looks pretty good. But what I want to know is when your gonna turn out some of those grab bars? Quote

Glenyboy Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Good work, I like the idea of those spark plug holders too. Quote

Some are plastic that might not work. Some are brass and too thin to bend nice but if you added a bend with copper tube coupler and soldered it. That could work. Reserve is something I use every thine I'm at Glamis. And I really like your idea. Imk if you ever want to make one for a Yfz 450. Quote

Also if you want to bend brass cleanly try freezing water inside the tube then it should bend clean. Quote

trickedcarbine Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 This is pretty slick. I've seen a pikes peak bike with a tank like that but the OEM tank was gone in favor of a little aluminum puck style purge tank that gravity fed the carbs. The over flow went from the little tank back to the big one under the seat. This was more for lower center of gravity though. Quote
