vfr fuel tank

[denisblackvtr]

Sorry to be a pain but does anyone have detailed fitting instuctions (including benefits, pitfalls etc) of the vfr fuel tank. I will also be fitting vfr handlebars if this makes any difference. Thanks in advance oh knowledgeable ones. Den

Yes, I did it a few years ago and if I can find the page on my website I'll post a link. Took it back to standard pretty soon after though and bought a TDM for touring on.

Might not be till next week though as I'm going away. I did a whole "blow by blow" picture album of how to do it and can help you with the details once I find the page.

I took the page down Chris as I was a bit peed off with some idiots' reactions , however when I get back on the PC with that website on I'll re-publish it. I can be a sensitive little soul you know

That's your privilege Paul, and I understand where you're coming from

There you go - back up online again. Hope it helps.

Thanks very much indeed Stratman for the step by step instructions but if i am to be honest with my self i dont think i could do it (lack of skill, facilities). So i think on long runs will strap 5 litre can on the rear. Hope you had a nice few days away. Thanks once again, Den

TBH I don't think it is worth it - I put hard luggage on for long touring and kept a 5l can in the topbox "just in case". France used to be a problem but you can use your Visa Debit/Maestro at the Intermarche etc on Sundays now so even that wouldn't be a problem as long as you start checking for fuel stations at about 80-90 miles.

On the TDM i can wait until about 170 miles before starting to look!
