I finished installing the tank with pump and it works very well. I put just enough fuel in to fill the wings about 3/4 and then sparked up the bike, it took a few cranks to get the fuel going but it worked just fine!



I was able to use the stock petcock with one of the inlets capped off. You can see the fuel through the tank so that you know when you are getting low so the reserve is not needed. I think it was worth doing as there must be at least a litre of fuel in the wings.

 

how much more range are you getting with the extra fuel in the wings. i want to do something like that but im so lazy some times.

 

I was gonna ask where you mounted the pump, but I just finished viewing your pic at the Adv Rider website. It looks a lot more compact than the pump MartindKTM used. Good on ya!

 

I haven't had a chance to get out for a long ride yet. Maybe this weekend, I guess I could fill the wings up and ride till they empty and see how many klicks I get out of them. I must say that the tank itself is not a really great fit as far as the side mounting bolts go. They just do not line up very well, about a half a hole off. I am going to invent some other method. Maybe a strap like the old Bultaco had. I would like to make it as quick to remove as possible. I have read other posts where the tank fit really well so either Acerbis or Kawi has some quality control issues.
