Member Contributer redmarque Posted November 4, 2012 Author Member Contributer Share Posted November 4, 2012 Something to look at.. started fabing the tank. i've calulated that it will hold about 10 litres.. will do for testing. Underside will fit over the airbox nicely. Anybody recommend some type of isolation mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Generic rubber grommets at the mounting points should suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer redmarque Posted January 19, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 19, 2013 Got the tank welded up.... Filler cap and breather ready to be welded on. Next get it mounted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer redmarque Posted January 19, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 19, 2013 Wow, very Stealth-Fighterish!!! Cheers Mr Canuck! Shame it's going to be hidden with a CBR600RR tank cover. Will source some baffle foam blocks to stop the fuel sloshing about too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes better to make something cheap and easy than sexy and expensive. Do you have the fuel pump on there as well, or something else planned?

Member Contributer redmarque Posted January 21, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks Guys! One day i'll make a sexy hand beaten tank! Will be using a stock fuel pump and this mounting plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Have you conducted a pressure/leak test yet? Also feel like a nice anodize or at least an alodine bath is in order. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer redmarque Posted January 21, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 21, 2013 Have you conducted a pressure/leak test yet?Also feel like a nice anodize or at least an sliding bath is in order. :-) Nope - filler neck and breather still need welding on. Open to ideas on wjhat to do for a leak/pressure test? Anodising sounds like a good idea. Sliding bath? you been playing with rubber duckies and the soap again?

SEBSPEED Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Oops! Stupid auto correct... Should have been "alodine" bath. For the leak test it's a good idea to pressurize to 5-15psi of helium, them either submerge in water or douse with soapy water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer redmarque Posted January 21, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 21, 2013 Alodine... had to look that up. Guessing you use it on aircraft parts at work? Gonna be very careful with pressure testing. i've heard of people balloning tanks with only 5 psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yes, we use it on a number of parts. It inhibits corrosion while allowing conduction of electricity. Pretty gold color too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer redmarque Posted January 5, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 5, 2015 Strange..yawns and blinks.... it's 2015 erk! didn't see the thread bump... New years resolutions include getting this bike on the road for a UK summer! I've been tied up with renovating my old house over winter.. .warmer weather soon please! Something to look at in the way of an update.. Honda RS250RW track fairing... i've added some mounting tabs and started the front subframe... Radiator is really too wide for the upper so now mounted veritcally with new hangers welded on. Happy New Year VFRD! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
