I have. The install is easy and same as the plastic tank just minus one breather hose.6-8 Week lead time before it gets here. I may get it clear wrapped on arrival, still on the fence about it. Anyone do the swap yet? Hoping its an easy transplant but you never know.
Yes, very easy swap. Don’t worry if the screws are not exactly at same distance from each other. The battery and coil mount shows enough flexibility to adapt. I just had to put rubber washers under the screw on the left side so that tank got centered around oil filler nozzle.
If you change to a Monza cap you may have to find a matching sealing gasket and close the vent hole if there is one in the cap (glue helps). Otherwise you might get fuel spilling...
Great Photo of the underside of the tank . That shows everything that he needs to see. (me too) . I heard there was brass fittings for the overflow/vent ? What's the black material in the battery area ?If the battery were to short out against the tank, it could melt a hole right into it.
That’s a foam liner to protect the tank from making contact to the battery and shorting out.Great Photo of the underside of the tank . That shows everything that he needs to see. (me too) . I heard there was brass fittings for the overflow/vent ? What's the black material in the battery area ?
I agree.I think the Shorai battery has a protection itself, but I will fit a protection to the tank to be with belt and braces...
Up to now no hole in the tank
The craftsmanship on the Al tanks is beautiful.
Does anyone know where the tanks are actually manufactured?
In house.
