Technical Notes
Tank raises the transmission and clutch pak for TT racing or hillclimbing for greater ground clearance. Battery compartment is short so a small battery is required. Chain guard will be in a raised position so modifications must be made to the front mounting tab as most TT bikes did not use a chain guard in the early racing era. Oil tank front mount must be removed and rewelded in place 1.25 inch upward. The feed line is on the bottom and the returna nd vent lines are interchangable. To raise the transmission mount plate use (5) 1-5/16 inch spacers and mount as stock. This will require (2) 3/8 inch-24 UNF x 3 inch bolts and (2) 3/8 inch-24 UNF x 2-1/2 inch bolts for the transmission plate on the 5th mount hole use (1) 3/8 inch-16 UNC x 2 inch bolt. The raising of the transmission with the use of the shorter inchTT inch oil tank also gives the advantage of the transmission and rear sprockets of being more inline for better power transmission thru the drivetrain. Does not include a bottom battery support bracket.
Suggested to use #8115-1 #8114-1 or #9504-1 timing plugs.
Important: Tank is not designed for electric start installations. *NOTE: Dipstick must be a stock one and shortened in order to use this tank.
