Pluss when I fitted one to the blade it did have a positive affect on fuelling and gave a smoother but stronger throttle response .
But it's more for the big right handers that I'm doing it and with the larger tank it's easier (I hope) to get fuelling right without the other parts from a later bike .
All being well on the test ride I'll be able to run the tank dry this time :-)
Ah right, every day's a school day :thumbup: Do you think I'll get starvation with the Vara tap?
Yes a little depending how you route the fuel pipes unless you have the later fuel spigot

A vara tap is exactly that, just a tap, no Vacuum diaphragm. There is no way (with the exception of gravity) to feed fuel into the carbs.

Surely both tanks are gravity fed, the vacuum merely opens the tap to let the fuel flow, or am I missing something here :?

Correct ::thumbup: .
It's the routing of the fuel lines I had trouble with as my tank has crap in it so I need to use a inline fuel filter .
If your tank is clean and has a filter in it you shouldn't have any problem with it

The sort of pic that benefits from a good crop. Would make a great canvas print if you've got the full res one :thumbup:

Took it for a little 20 mile ride to test the tank and pump ,
It feels much crisper and responsive than without a pump .
Just need to do the red light run test now

Cbr600f pre injection fuel pump .
3/8 fuel lines.
I mounted mine where the rear Brake fluid res is mounted but just behind the tail plastics .
I wired the live wire to the rear brake light live feed and earth to the rear coil mount .
I'll take some pics next time I have the tank off .
