Looks great.

I may have missed it, but what mod are you doing on the tank with the fittings?

Ah yes, no fuel gage.Clever indeed.
Very Nice.

I dunno if you've ridden it yet but how does it handle with the forks pushed that far up in the triple? I have a 550L too and I'm a little worried about changing the geometry for the worse.

Maybe I just don't completely understand, but how does the whole fitting thing on the side of the tank work? I think i get the general idea but I can't figure out how exactly it is supposed to tell you how much gas you have. maybe I am just over thinking it but wouldn't the fuel in the tube just stay there until you are almost completely out of gas? I need some either dumbing down or smarting up I am so confused.

Its the same as how the hollow handle of a plastic milk jug can show how much milk is in the container.


Im sure someone could come up with a better example but thats the only thing I could come up with

Are you kidding, that's the best example ever Wish I had thought of that off the top of my head earlier today trying to explain it to someone.

Silver braze can be used to join brass to steel as a good alternative to doing the weld in bungs for this mod.
