Sub tank info
Received 70degree sub fame tank a few weeks back
Very good workmanship with the tank and aluminum parts, I’ve paid more for specialty small aluminum hot rod parts than this complete tank cost . It is a good buy for the work that has gone into making this tank.
Before installing read instruction will make job easy
Check and clean all threads built into tank use supplied fasteners to check threads.
Follow instructions, instillation takes about two to three hours at a careful and thorough pace. Take your time and do it right it’s worth it.
As most of you know, don’t use a one way check valve on the vent hose, if you ride slow nasty trails on hot days and the fuel percolates (boils) you will have problems if the pressure is not vented!
Sub frame tank weight is within ounces of the stock sub frame that’s good
I put exactly 3.25 gallons in and I had room in the back of the sub tank for another 2 tenths of a gallon but did not want to over fill the tank and I would have had to raise the front wheel a little, was not worth the effort, I was very pleased with the capacity of the tank .
I don’t have to carry fuel in my back pack anymore, my lunch and snacks will tasted like food not gas.
Check your rear sag might have to tighten the spring one turn. Fuel weight is a little over 6 lbs per gal so you might be ok but doesn’t hurt to check.
Bike feels great on tight trails with the sub tank you don’t even feel it, much better than caring the fuel high in a big tank. If you are going for a short ride just put a small amount of fuel in, splits between the two tank now its like a world super bike, fuel is chambered for less movement (slosh) and the fuel is carried lower on the bike ( this info is for you WFO guys)
Thanks Dale and others for all the hours you have put into this
Now the bad NEWS
When you come home at two in the morning the wife won’t believe the old I ran out of gas story.
Have a great ride
