Post by bluestoesonnose »

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

I fitted one. They are just too big and sit too high. I was also concerned that as the bottom of the tank was effectively sitting on the top of the airbox, vibration would make a hole in something. I did have a whole series of "how to do it" pics linked to on here but got so pissed off with negative comments that I removed the links.

I only kept the VFR tank on for a couple of weeks then sold it on here complete with all the fittings etc. If I can find the pics/links I'll re-post but I don't hink I have them anywhere now.
