Would you happen to know if the TM33 carb clears that tank ok? How about the choke?

 

Punkenduro - you also have the unibiker rad guards on there too, don't you? Any issues with fit between the guards and tank?

Maninthesea - there's several others around here with the tank on an '09. The choke lever issue can apparently be dealt with either by holding it (because it won't fully open), cutting the **** so it passes the petcock, or maybe changing the petcock to a different unit. I think redpillar has a little writeup here or on ADVRIDER.

Here's where my order is pending:

Good question....anyone got an answer?

 

I'd consider the Acerbis tank on my '09 if they made it in unpigmented/translucent plastic, but as far as I know they only make it in Kawi green.

 

yep, had to bend the ends a little cus the rubbed on the tank but nothing big, probably more things being bent from abusing the hell out of it more than anything.

you are correct there.

 

I am tired to wait and created this kind of adapter using Colpin mount and piece of 8mm plastic.

 

I did something very similar. I put a rear rack on mine, and bolted a Pelican case to it,
then I bolted a Rotopax mount to the top of the case and I have a 1 gallon can on top.
Its a bit tall, but not too bad, I can notice it there, but its not effecting the handling all that much really.

 

Nicely done alex & jt...but I'm still waiting for the Acerbis. For where I'll be riding, I'll need the Acerbis plus another gallon or two .

 

I ultimately want more also, I hate having to stop and fillup that often, even if I do have the extra gas with me.
I have had my eye on the Acerbis also, I would rather keep the stock look, but in the end, functionality will be more important.
Saw the mods on here about changing the way the fual lines run, and adding a small fuel pump to them, seems to make them very useful.
Interested to see how your install goes.

 

That's a lot of weight back there. You should take a REAL close look at the subframe for cracks often.
