Thanks Rice. It would be nice to have the tank completely out of the way. But I prefer there to be zero chance on the tank getting dropped,knocked over, or whatever & then having a messed up tank & a fuel spill to deal with. Siphoning sounds very easy anyway.

What a buzz kill you are, Veefer!

Thanks Sebspeed & Ripper. But I'd rather get these items installed before I get out & about on it. Although, it would sure suck if, after spending a lot of time on installation, there was an unknown problem beforehand. I'll take it on a short run to be sure all seems well first. That will also get everything up to temperature for the oil change which I'll be doing first.

Oh Farkle Me! I have several electrical accessories to install & my fuel tank is Fully-Full !! Well....A siphoning I shall go. A siphoning I shall go. Hi Ho A Mary O A VFR O, A siphoning I shall go. Just thought I'd share that with ya. I did read several posts about different ways to siphon so I think it will easy enough to do.

Well,at this point they're going to be Spring time Mods apparently. When the time comes that the weather is finally warm enough for me to work in the garage & I'm in the right frame of mind,I'll be installing(or at least trying to install) the following: -TPX Radar Detector & LED Alert on a Control Mount -FuzeBlock -Gear Indicator -Head Light Switch -Volt Meter connected to a switch -Peg Lwr.Blocks I still have to figure out which colors of wire to get & where I'll use each color.Along with some how determining what length to buy. I do know the different gauges I will need.So I guess that's a start! As for maitenance: -Oil change with Mobil 1 Full Syn.10w40 & a K&N filter -visually check,clean,lube various other things I've never done much electrical work at all before so it's going to be interesting. Once I get started,which I'm getting anxious about, I feel as if things will go smoothly. Or so I hope. If I remember, I'll take pics as I go along. Hmm..I still have to make room in the garage to be able to do this work. I guess my XR will have a new home on the patio under a tarp while I do all this. Perhaps the Honda mower as well.

Hey HS-Thanks for posting this topic especially with the pics. Will be helpful. I see in a couple of your pics you have metal pins instead of the factory plastic ones holding separate sections of the panels together. I would like to know where you got them & if you use them in every location the plastic ones are. I think I want to get some. I bet they're alot easier to work with than the plastic ones. Thanks~ Chuck
