Me too!! Once this is done there isn't much more I can do to it. Though John Gainey has a set of 1570 pistons, Stage 4 heads, and Carrillo rods in a box with my name on it LOL. Looking at picking up a "donor" motor from an 02 or newer wrecked Max to have him do up over the winter.

Trust Tom to do a great job as always. Sleeping quite well to be honest LOL. The tank has to be notched for the chain to clear it. Will loose ~0.5L of capacity, but can get the tank modified later to increase the capacity by about a half gallon or more.

Did Tom clean the inside of the tank or is that how it looked when he opened it up? No sign of ethanol rusting.

There was some gunk on the bottom of the tank. He also found that the hose on the bottom of the pump was directly on the bottom of the tank which is a no no. My fuel filter was full of gunk it sucked off the bottom, but he is shortening the hose 1/2" or so to fix the problem. Finding little niggling things that needed some fixing, but the bike had to be totally torn down to do it.

I was thinking along the same lines Brian! :biglaugh:
Looking mighty good Jim....well, not really good now....but exciting stuff happening, no doubt about that!
unk:Wonder why no-one has ever made a hi-impact plastic replacement gas tank for the max? :confused2:
They have an ABS tank for the Vmax and it's even larger. Or at least they used to have one.

Seems like that would be the way to go if a tank starts rusting. Can you remember who had them Sean?

Didn't Boxenstopp have them for a while? Wish I could use one, but again the chain clearance issue pops up. With the 6" stretch I have room to expand towards the tire, which is what I will be doing. Don't lose a bunch of capacity with the notch, but with Toxic any loss isnt good:bang head:

BRM makes them in a 21L model and it is 650 Eur from Technobike.

I have seen the BRM one which would be nice for the rust elimination aspect that Garrett mentioned. While the plastic tank is tempting, wouldn't having a custom tank made be better in light of the swingarm stretch? With a custom built one you could probably end up with a little more than 21L.
Although your MM would probably be happy either way!

For that price I may have to see how much we could fab a sheet stainless tank for or even sheet aluminum.
