Woot! SJ gas tank installed!

Fits pretty well, frees up room for a limited B pipe

notice the notch I made near the hood seal, that makes installation easier
also, I had to drill some new holes in the battery tray to move it out of the way

BEFORE

AFTER

The cut away breather tube basically contours the new tank

Does it handle differently with the additional weight/fuel...???

The reason I ask is beacuse back in the day guys that raced FX-1's closed course added between 5 to 7 lbs. of lead weight in the nose...!!!

I won't know until April

For fuel capacity reasons or for SJ chamber?

No kidding, its a twofer!, how much more fuel does the SJ tak hold. I may now considerthis as an option as long long rides are the norm. Also for the point thet KO2 made

I believe the SJ tank holds 4.8 gal. ?

MNTURBO · 11-29-2009, 11:56 AM

I think the fx-1 tank holds 3.7

ko2 · 11-29-2009, 12:57 PM

You may be correct - I thought it holds 3.9 gal. ?
