just watch you don't fall foul of the IVA rules on rear tank protection...

its got the frame that the body fits onto to go back on yet, should be ok, its the frame the kit comes with.

Yup that fuel tank should get you to the next filling station (just). As said that engine looks superb.

As in you won't be able to afford to eat if you fill it up

with the engine being slightly bigger!!!!! than the average, i worked on needing a 12-15 gallon tank, didn't think the normal 6ish gallons would be much use, that would be lucky to get more than a couple of laps at a trackday.

Wasn't someone asking about fixing in fuel tanks the other day? Should point them in this direction. I like the bungee idea but with that size tank you probably need 2; one either side.

Nice motor by the way
