i started fabbing my tank up. it should hold a little over 5 gallons. there will be a 8x3 sump on the right side for the pick up.

Looks good, do you think you need baffles to keep from sloshing around?

not really. the spun tanks don't have them, the stock tanks done have them, and its only 5 gallons. the sump will have a couple 1" holes draining into it, so they will act like a baffle to keep fuel in the sump when the fuel is low.

now would one hurt anything? No, and I may make one to go in it.

Looks good chris. May have to follow you and build myself a tank. Would be nice to have over 4 gal. Hell I'd really like 6 looks like there is room for a bit more if you made it straddle that bar. Although lots more work.

yea, and the way the pipe runs takes some room. I need to calculate the volume. the 1st tank I mocked up held 6.5 gallons. this one is 1" shorter. I may actually fab up another after the may ride. I have an idea that I want to try, but that will be revealed later.

I didnt mean to insisuate you don't know what you are doing :-) , just making a suggestion, and yes I would think 1 " holes would keep the gas from sloshing away from the pick up. Good idea!

the fuel tank is fabbed minus mounts and the taps. I made the sump larger then I had originally planned. why not go for the extra quart of fuel. :-)

Great job Chris,now go one further for safety sake.
Never liked the posi of fuel tank over exhaust,motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) etc,incase of leak.
I would be installing a drip tray under the tank,with drain away tubes that exit to the ground.
You never know when you spring a leak,all it's all behind you,and you'll only find out when it's too late mate!Image

I am trying to make this trip. it will be close for sure.

I still have to:
1. fab hoses
2. wire fan
3. mount CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition)
4. mount coil
5. wire it up
6. heat shield for seat

and I have about 4 days left in my schedule to work on it.

IS IT JUST A K&N OR DO YOU HAVE THE OTHER FILTER IN THERE?


IF YOU HAVE THE OTHER FILTER IN THERE I WOULD RUN THE K&N DRY WITH A PRECHARGER BAG OR PANTIE HOES OVER IT
