Why didn't people like the Royal Enfield twin System? BTW, I'm not talking about going to a wet sump, with the crank hitting the oil. I was thinking of a tank/sump at or below the bottom of the crank. Obviously, I am thinking about (dare I say it?) WET SUMPING.
An oil tank below the sump has been done, my last featherbed racer originally had an oil tank below the frame, like the Seymour Velocetes!!! Also, look at the late John Player Norton (the works racers!!!) they had the ol tank low, just behind the front wheel, asdid the works Triumph Daytonas!!
Absolutely! bikes built for tracks, putting the tank in the wind where it cools best. Not a good Idea for average street going bikes though. KTM 990 SM use the space directly in front of the engine, behind the front wheel but have a cast and welded tank and ground clearance to help keep it from harm.
You have a Seeley, I'm envious.
