Petrol tank arrives


Had a nice surprise when I came home, my lightweight K model petrol tank (Aluminum instead of stock steel) had arrived.

Got it for a relatively decent price on ebay.
It's been slightly modded by Harris to accomodate breather up front and tank re-profiled underneath to accomodate race airbox.

Condition is really great and it's apparent how much lighter it is over the stock steel one just by picking it up.

  1. Nice tank, I noted the extension added below the back end, does this conflict with the stock battery space? I assume it is modified to fit over a kit type airbox.

  2. Sorry for the late reply specialdx.
    It sits just before the battery box, if you're familiar with the J then it sits just where the J stock airbox snout is placed.

    Yes original modification done by harris (I believe) for the kit airbox - which I'm about to post about in a sec!
