Oil Accumulator
I got a good look at chip ellis's ZX-12, with the body work removed , super bike (?)with the slick and wheelie bar. There was a japenese photographer taking pics and I noticed an oil accumulator.Who is planning on running one? Where would it be plumbed into?The bike had a fuel cell attached to the frame where the original tank was.There was a lot of room under there with that small fuel cell.

Harry, if you ever get to see that 12 again or Rickeys OutLaw 12 take a good look at all the room between the frame and valve cover!!!...Plenty of room to remove the plugs!!!...Billet oil pan, custom frame parts...Very Trick 12s!!!

Doug M posted it a while ago on a thread how much the accumulator costs. I remember the dry sump was BIG $$, but the accumulator was a few hundred. Something I plan to run if I ever talk myself into running the 60" class. Good idea for anybody that has a race bike for sure.

It's EASY on "RaceBikes"...FUNCTION FIRST...
