Stay tuned.  There should be some photos within a couple of weeks.

The fuel flange and filler have been mostly sorted.

Again, the plan is a drop in tank that will use the factory style filler AND fuel flange (round type).

That's what's gummed things up. 

Price target is still well below $2k, preferably around 1500.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Just got my tank replaced and coated.  But it's good to know there is an option just in case, knock on wood, that this one blows up on me some time down the line.

I would be very interested in one for my S4rs at $1500.

For the bikes that have an oval fuel flange, you'd need to pick up a round flange.  I believe the connections are the same and the pump, etc are the same too so you may only need the flange and you can move the pump, etc over.

Bummer...I had just replace my fuel sending unit because it was leaking.  It was a lot of clams.

Then buy an MTS. No one is going to make one of those for you...

People like Evan Wilcox will if he puts enough money on the table.
