99 750.
I can get a pretty cool racing cap that's vented. Is that enough or do I need to run a line to the atmosphere?
Sorry if my questions are lame and many. I understand some bike stuff but confused by much...
(Just wait til I do an engine or head swap. You're gonna want to ban me!)

Point your buddy to this thread, see if he's really ready to volunteer:

Long read, but from what I know about that kind of project, he covered all the bases.

That was a long read... A good one none the less  [thumbsup]

So in my research there is no resin that will hold up to Ethamake the beast with two backsingol (race fuel, yes). Even with a sturdy tank liner its bound to fail at some point. The only resin that is totally resistant (forgot the name) is one that is used by NASA and its $3500 for a drum. No other smaller quantities are sold. So I think my march down the path to making a carbon fuel tank is at a standstill for the moment... :'( Poo
