Huh? Hey, I resemble that remark!
















So where are you going to take the tank for custom fabrication to increase capacity whilst creating clearances required to maintain maximum turning radius, sir?

[rtwdoug]

well, its a very exacting & precise procedure, to invert the outward radii of the curve in such a way to give the maximum amount of steering with the minimal intrusion of the tank, as to not compromise the structural integrity of it.


so I'll probably put a piece of pipe against it, & smack it with a big fuckin hammer.

.......That rack on the tank might do surgery on a sensitive part of your anatomy if you bounce forward on a rough road or in a minor accident!

I think that design was discontinued after a few riders were suddenly sopranos
