    With this question! Letting us know in a subtle manner that you scored a 6.3 gallon tank


    My mileage sucks on Great Ranger (it lives in San Antonio) - I fill up at 100 miles. On Rising Sun (it lives in San Diego) I never checked but also fill up after about 100 miles but its all around town riding in San Diego and the STD has a slightly bigger tank so it isn't a big deal like back in Texas where things are farther apart. Maybe if I get to do the SoCal Rally in June I can give it a test.

          when you come to town, and yes I guess I am a little subtle, I am just planning for my upcoming road trip, it looks like I could roll all the way to santa barbera without stopping

              I guess my 78 is a Frankenstein bike now with a bobbed rear section fj carbs 4/1 pipe pacifico 81 tank and now a touring seat it might look weird but it runs and it is setup for longer range now but I guess I can always revert to street fighter in the summer
