Hi Everyone,
After a frustrating year of delays and vendors not wanting to work to my level of perfection, we are very close to production of the Monster Track Tank. The model is the MTT43, where the 43 stands for 4.3 gallons.
Updated Jul 26 : Carbureted version of the tank is for sale. (see last post)
Updated: Current pics here in our photo gallery!(original post)
The biggest hurdle was the fuel filler cap area. As I mentioned in these
two different
threads, the filler was originally not at all satisfactory. As you see in the above pic, my work on replacing that part of the mold paid off. At the same time, I added metal to the mold to allow the tank better fitment on S2R models. Other changes in the interim were more precise locating of the threaded holes for the fuel flange plate as well as the required technology for the carb'd monsters to have their own version of the tank.
We are having poly custom ground to match the red, yellow, and "senna gray" of Ducati parts that we sent to the source. The MTT43 will be available in black, red, yellow, gray, natural / clear, and white. The tanks are NOT paintable, as nothing sticks to the poly.
The Monster Track Tank will be priced aggressively to make it easy for you to get the tank for trackday use and then preserve your costly original tank. You get 4.3 gallons for $430. We believe in supporting your local dealers, so there are dealer pricing programs, too.
De ja vu: it seems like I was excited about this tank 2 years ago??
Barring the extraordinary, these will be ready to ship by the end of the month.
Thanks,
Chris
