Hi I was wondering how well the tank works on that 990. on the road comeing out of a hard lean of a conner, do you feel the weight on the side. how much more miles you think you get out of a fill up. street, dirt, I have a 950 adv and looks like a good deal for a longer range. Thanks Rick
It works great, and I dont even notice it being there at all. I can now get 200-217 miles betwen fill ups (mixed riding). I was sick of carrying around a jerry can, which I did have to use very often. My one and only complaint since purchasing the 990 about a year ago was fuel capacity, it is now the perfect machine for me!
So does this system gravity-feed into the stock tank on the 950SE? Would it work on a SM? Im in London and I'm thinking long and hard about the new 990SM! Already has 19l stock, suspension is only 10mm less than the ADV (probably just a spacer) and the UK Pound is in the shitter so a new one would be right around $10k.... Plus, I kinda like the look of knobbies on street rims like some guys run.
I have not had a SM in the shop to see if the subframes are same. The aux tank does gravity feed into the main. I'll try to have a look at SM and get back to you. Berg
They both (Super Moto + Super Enduro ) have the same part number for their sub frames . And the SM already has a Y pipe / 2 into 1 then back to two . That should be easy to run a single 1,000 cc muffler . As far as the question of feeling the side tank in the twisties n the road , I can't even feel bergs side tank full or empty . +11111 Looking at the microfiche again 2007 SE and SM are the same # SMR are diff and 2006 SM have even another # Hmmmmm ?!?
Agave, i like this shape of tank more so than the Neduro one. did you get this through, bbriggs ? . the filler neck looks different to the SE one is this a later model/year from baja designs? and does it fit with the same brackets as the SE.?
Yes, bbriggs supplies the tanks pictured in this thread. The SE's subframe is a bit different, and has a smaller tank initially, so it is supplied with the 1.8gal tank. The adv's fit the 1.2gal tank, and thus they look a bit different. I'm happy with mine!
I have a 2006 950SM and i also was wondering if the subframes where the same.Would be nice to fit an aux. tank on my SM for long rides.
It looks like the part numbers on the sub frames are different on the ADV, SE and SM, So my guess is that it will not work. If you like give me a call I would be happy to talk about it. 307-690-0452 Berg

I call it more of a cock block move than spam. since this thread is Bergs. plus the BD/Berg side tank is much cleaner looking than Pax's
+1 but i also feel that Pax just needs to be made aware of the vendor forum rules, maybe he's just plain ignorant of how to behave on someone else's vendor thread.
Berg has spent a great deal of time trying to add miles not dollars to every ride. rotopax is another alternative to haul additional fuel. However the Back Roads Moto design is as inconspicuous as it gets, remains on the bike & is never gets in the way. BRM design is also a painless installation, low price good fit & durable.
