April 17, 200818 yr Hi all have been out side in a shed at work for a year and not had a computer port Is anyone manufacturing a reasonably priced flat tank for the 4rt yet ? i would love one but they are so much money. I still have my 06 and touch wood it has been trouble free so am keeping for a bit longer,but would love to upgrade the tank.
April 17, 200818 yr Hi There, I have tryed myshelf to get one and the best way is too take it apart and get a (good engineer) to cut of top and make a Flat lid for it as this is all TRW and Japan shops do , Show him Photos so he can get an Idea what it has too look like , Then just change the pump bracket so the pump will lay down more and fit into your new Flat tank , Easy done , Cheers .
April 17, 200818 yr easy ????? Yes the modification of the bracket is easy, but the rest is a lot of work. Home made Flattank
April 18, 200818 yr easy ????? Yes the modification of the bracket is easy, but the rest is a lot of work. Home made Flattank Yes your photos look like a LOT of hard work , Like I said you need a Very Good Engineer , I see what they do at TRW to there tanks and they dont touch the bottom of the tank at all like your photos show you have done , They just cut the top of and make a new lid , OK easy if you know what you are doing , But with your photos and a Good Enginneer then should work out great , And save all the extra money if you had to buy one , Cheers .
April 18, 200818 yr Author Fantic 303 Did you make a couple? after all that jigging and fab work. If so pm me with details as i would like one.looks really nice
April 18, 200818 yr they dont touch the bottom of the tank at all like your photos show you have done I have made a complete new tank, bottom and all the rest and have nothing changed to the original tank
April 18, 200818 yr A firend of mine has done this with his tank, the rest of the bike is not bad either........ Top of tank removed & flattened, bottom tank expanded to increase fuel capacity. Perfect idea really, large capacity flat tank.
