Right the vendor who sold me the orange striped tank lied and told me it was at least 2.5 gals and he had checked that . But it was only 1.75 gals . So it went back on e bay and was sold on.
Just purchased this, this afternoon 2.2 gals , should be much better I know it’s an injection model but I wanna loose the tunnel and have a flat a base in it as is practical , when funds permit which will increase the capacity some more !

Ok got the ‘new” tank 125 miles this time !
Getting a quote to loose the tunnel and i’m Also thinking of lowering the bottom of the of the tank between the frame rails , to the depth of the frame rails , to increase the capacity .
If it’s financially viable , not sure it will be . But worth finding out I think .
Gonna then just have an outlet pipe to fit a remote tap , , , , , , I think , lolComment

Ooh dear , got the quote and it’s way out of my budget £250 to lose the tunnel and nearly £400 for losing the tunnel and lowering part of the base , perhaps I was being to optimistic !
Gonna have to see if I can pick up another cheap 2nd hand mig welder and have a crack at it miself , I think .Last edited by dowood1; 08-14-2019, 12:45 PM.Comment

Using the bike a fair bit at the mo , hasn’t seemed surefooted on white lines and road seams . Plus Wanted to see if I could reduce the rear tyre pressure a bit to soften the ride up a bit . As had been running just Uber 50 psi for the both as suggested by several owners . Checked them and the were 29 each end- oops , so took a gamble and tried 25 rear & 45 front and it paid off it handles much better and I’ll prob be able to keep my kidneys after all !Comment

No pillion intended , but gonna put a rack in front of it for camping gear , eventually !
Oh yeah apologies for the building site of a garden , there’s a lot going on at the mo .
