      "Not Enough"!!!

      Hey, Just a thought, but has anyone thought of adopting the Virago idea of using a secondary tank and fuel pump?? Didnt know they did that until today and thought "what a good idea". Now, to find somewhere to mount a secondary tank.....

      2000 XJR1300. The Real modern XS11. Others are just pretenders.

        I think I read somewhere on this forum, that you can mount a standard tank onto a special with little modification. Not sure though. I have also seen I believe it was a Maxim tank put on a special, and their capacity is up there round 6 gals. just like the standard.

Not sure though/////////////Yup, 'plug&play for the tank......fuel supply from petcocks changed by eliminating the 'octy' using 2&3 vacuum ports to the vacuum petcocks.....seats not an issue as front cushion portion just rides up higher against the tank.
