Hey, no bad...I know what the price is, but I want to demonstrate as much interest as possible to Erospace with regard to the tank. (Why do I feel that I really mangled this sentence??) So I figure the more interest demonstrated, the more chances are he'll be interested in pursuing some options, such as added capacity.

I called today and let them know that if they produced this tank that I would buy one. My impression from the conversation was that they will be producing it, but they are not sure of the specifics(dates, prices, etc.) which is quite understandable.

That's cool, I'm glad that some folks are interested. I was doing it as a one-off, but it's nice to know that someone else is interested.
U tell 'em Dino... Would like to see how you do it... Gonna make a CF tailpiece for my bike... CF tank with more capacity sounds awesome for me too! Tired of only going 150 miles on a tank!

I dont know about you guys. 150 miles per tank is a "safety net" for me on road trips. I have gone as much as 190 miles on a full tank of gas. Granted the bike took 4.9 gallons at fill up...lol (razor thin there..hehe)
I was looking at some of the spare tanks I have in my garage. (Dont know how I got 3 of them..lol) With the top part of the tank loped off, you'd gain about 3 inches of room. Just imagine dragracing 3" closer to the front end of the bike!! No more "over the windscreen" launches...hehe.

Good question, I think it's because of the longer stroke, and maybe a more complete burn? The 1347, at 116 lb/ft of torque, is definately the best bike out of the hole. It's got considerably more torque at 6500-9000 rpm than the 1270 bike.

So is the guy going to install a quick fill set-up for you Swft. Or are you still thinking?

Haven't called him back. Prob with the quick fill is that the rear of the fuze cover (where the hole for the gas cap is) is kinda like the *front* of the tank. So I really don't see how it would work, if we are talking about the big two-hole fill thingy...

Hey, any riders in SoCal, could you ride by his place so he can get a look at how the tank sits on the bike? He's really interested in doing the project, but needs to look at a bike and take some notes. Please contact John directly at the number on the website.

Swft, saw some endurance 12 pics out of France and it looks like they just spun the dry break dual fills 90 degrees laterally across the tank. That should work and I'm following this with some interest!

Good point, but I think I'll just go with a 1/4 turn. Wish someone in So Cal would answer up!

Holy shit! $1100 bucks for a fuel tank??? Fuckin' A!
Good thing you and I are friends, Swft. I'll let them use my bike to dissect for the benefit of you guys, but I'm not paying that much...or anywhere near that. LOL My ass is too Poe!

EBD - I was informed that a single dry break would work ok. So I'd be cool with that, will give him a call next week and see if he can do it / how much.
