Looks like a great setup. I will just leave the cover on mine so I don't see how ugly it is. Hope you sell lots of them.
Holy gas, fartman, that tank looks beeoyoooteefulll! Looks like I need to dredge up the 'what parts to buy and how to install bulkhead fittings into an FJR' thread! PM sent..I was waiting for the phone to ring all day! I should have taken a picture of it sitting on the welding table. It is really beautiful. And I'm not saying that like people talking about their babies; "OOH Isn't she a pretty baby!"Getting excited now! sn1 and 2 just about done! Woot Woot! (and I just got Krzy8 back from the shop, she's good to rock n' roll again!)
Maybe tomorrow!
Time to drill holes in Krzy8's tank! Go Don! You Caan DOO EET!
I'm goin' way down south,Hey Joe, where you going with that tank in your hand?
Looking into it, I see that Post #117 <Link> from this thread asked the same question, but I can't find the reply that answered it. (edit: DaJuice found the post I was thinking of. <Link>Looks awesome to me and with out adding a lot of weight off the tail of the bike!!I to am a CBA... and should be president of said group.... ( not Don Carver.. :lol: :huh: ..).. so I
probably don't need one, but I have a question.........
What keeps the rain from soaking everything under and/or around the tank?? fuse block or power commander ETC??
B...
Pictures always help.If you need I could take pictures and post them later to my question.
Alright,What keeps the rain from soaking everything under and/or around the tank?? fuse block or power commander ETC??
I now have an update for the GenI owners.I can't really answer any GenI questions yet. Hopefully this weekend I'll have more info.
Well I had to find a way to answer my own question. And the answer is...I'm pretty sure the bottom plate of my tank is at the same height as the bottom plate of Tanji's tank. I was going to check the photos (Tom Melchild's) of the Tanji tank adapted to fit a GenII, but they are gone. "The page you tried to load is no longer available at that URL."
Remember this photo?
The red line is at the bottom of my auxiliary tank. Where would the Tanji tank be? The same right?
Very Clean!!!
Joe, looking at the close up pics, I can't help but think that in a decent frog strangler the rain water will end up filling up the bolt holes and slowly draining off into the seat pan area. Are you planning on supplying some kind of rubber plugs for the bolt holes? Actually the same could apply to a fuel over flow while filling up, and you'll have gas in the seat pan area. I don't mean to nitpick just asking.We checked the fit on another '06 with a Givi rack & V46 (thanks mr.paul !):
I will try (no promises) to design a simplified version of this tank. See post #209 <Link> I'm very happy with the way the Tag-Along Tank turned out, but I understand that some would like a tank for a Gen I and some might want to mount a 4.8 gallon tank higher than I would. It wouldn't hurt to contact me if you are interested in something like that. My desire to tackle that project will be proportional to the amount of interest.
