I have been contemplating a fuel cell mounted low in the front compartment...
While this may yeild a lower cg, it is also in front of the front wheel midline and will affect the overall balance. Has anybody done a before and after on corner weights? I'm sure I can deal with a set up for this new layout...but should I be fixing somthing that aint broke. If you do have a fuel cell, how big did you go, and how did you mount it? Pictures would be nice if you have 'em... Cheers, Sean |

Patrick motor sports (PMS) makes a fuel safe cell that resides in an original tank, and keeps it in the same location....
i believe they split a stock tank, add a bladder and foam it, and bolt it back together. |

Expect to pay a pretty penny for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
