Just barely made it to UPS before they closed.
Tomorrow I will add up the costs of packaging materials and shipping. I will get that to everyone along with their tracking number.
For now, it's late and I need to get up early.
Oh, and I will have to mail the replacement grabrail bushing first class mail. I forgot to package them with the tanks. I'm pretty sure first class mail will be faster than UPS ground, so even with a one day head start, everything should arrive about the same time.

Unfortunately I wasn't home to sign for my UPS delivery on Friday. I have had to change the delivery address to my work. I should be taking delivery on Tuesday.

I took the tank out of the box and she is a thing of beauty. I am not able to walk yet after knee surgery so it is just setting in the box and taunting me.

My tank arrived Tuesday after some UPS confusion.

As soon as I got home I tried it on the bike for size. All looks good, waiting on some hardware from McMaster-Carr and some performance hoses and connections from Summit Racing. Decided to use a fuel pump with timer circuit.

I got some 40mm stainless steel bolts (92290A442), some plugs (4491K16), and a long T handle hex key (4973A47) from McMaster-Carr. My tank in now nice and solid. Discovered that I can only remove and replace my custom seat in the high position.

I used the corks from some of my favorite recreational beverages to plug the holes in mine.

Where did you get the tank cover Phil?

Searched 12x13" bag on eBay. It's some kind of thinly padded electronic equipment bag. I cut the bottom out and it slips over the tank pretty well.
I'll see if I can find another one and post the link.

Hopefully someone in this group of 4 will record a video of drilling their tank and setting up the aux tank. I am still on the mend from knee surgery so it will be a while before I can set mine up.

Putting together a timing circuit to control fuel transfer between tanks.
