Swingarm Nitrous Mount/Pics?
For those of you who have mounted their nitrous bottle in front of the rear wheel, could you provide some pics? I am trying to get an idea of the clearance, and the best way to get the bottle in and out with various setups.
Thanks.
Shane

Yes it's a stock arm ... You need to be about 62 inch wheel base to be safe ..

Lee, how do you get the bottle out? Is there clearance above it or do you need to put it up on a stand, or??

The bottle comes right out if you mount it with the valve facing up ...With the valve facing down you have to raise the bike up ..... Valve up is fine just make sure the bottle has a tube installed...

You can always make the bottom bracket removable to help with clearance and pulling the bottle through two rubber caked brackets. Mine uses a wing nut to attach. Two brackets might be overkill, but AMA Dragbike requires it in certain classes.

You can mount the cylinder in that spot, but you need to be careful of how far the valve and regulator protrude. Make sure that the valve won't snap off if the bike falls over. That could be very dangerous.
I only mention it because I had to relocate my bottle in order to pass tech at Maxton.
