You could run those over the tank up thru the slits in the bag looping under the seat.

Finally finished installing Shala's AUX tank last week. As much as she commutes to work, this little mod will definitely 'go a long ways'. (pun intended) No one knows it's there, and she still has enough space in there to pack around an extra jacket, change of eyeshades, etc.

Thanks again Capt Bob.

Maybe a windbreaker and shades in the side pockets. Unless you want it to smell like fuel.

She packed my underliner around all day, and it smells as fresh as daisies, well, uh, at least as fresh as I do. Hopefully she ain't going to make a habit of spilling fuel when she fills up. Shouldn't be a problem.

Very nice , But now when you hear Honey will you ride my bike you will have 2 tanks to fill
Keep a zipper open just a little cause the cap does vent but never had one leak , looks great
and a very functional mod sure wish I could get some more blanks .

I must say you have gussied her bike up quite nicely the Black scoops look great and like the Pegs/grips too.

what exhaust do you have on their perhaps a couple profiles of Mama's Max .

Very nice to be able to go 250KMs before filling. I like the look on peoples faces when i un zip my tail bag and begin filling it with gas. :hmmm: The tail bag blends in with my other luggage and nobody can tell i have an aux tank.

Neither of us can take credit for gussying this bike up. She found it on Ebay, already gussied up. I, personally, don't like the scoops, but she loved them. The Arlen Ness grips and pegs might look good, but he!! to hang on to on a warm day. Again, not my cup of tea, but she loved the bike. This bike was originally out of FL. We bought it in GA, and believe Shala is the 3rd owner. Story the dealership told was that the 2nd owner took his wife for a ride and scared the bejesus out of both of them. They then traded for a smaller cc, Yamaha bagger of some sort. It is outfitted with Tailgunner Jet pipes, and they are LOUD. I don't think Tailgunner offers their Jet pipes any longer.

Re: Capt Bob Auxiliary Gas Tanks Available 6 months 3 weeks ago #30

Capt or Oz can you give me more detailed pics of how you ran both the tiedown straps and fuel line? Pictures of how the Tank/Bag is mounted (not just sitting on top of) to the rear seat. I have the ROK straps and see the provide pics from the beginning of the thread, but just can't put it together. I know I have to cut 2-4 openings into the bag for the straps (and run them over the tank) but. I'm lost.

As far as the fuel line. If you can show how it's ran into the tank. Example do I need to get another fuel cap with a vent line into it (If they make such a thing)? :rolleyes2:

Thanks
