Fitting a 916 tank Anyone Give me any helpful tips, do's and don'ts, or remember if there's an old thread on "how to" done a quick search but didn't find anything specific I know I've got to make a little frame to fix it the back to but not sure how the front fixes pumps?? .. not sure if I'll get the pump with it or not Cheers guys |
It was Tim pritchard that fitted a 916 tank, apart from the front & rear fittings I think the main problem is the air box! You have to beat the feck out of the tank& cut the air box, best way would be to loose the air box altogether. |
If your planning on doing it to your dd bike start by changing the frame. I looked at doing it to my ss in 2004 even had a couple of Mito tanks to try but they just don't suit a ss |
On mine I have welded in a cross brace with a vertical tab (with a hole in it) in centre that allows the mounting lug of the 916 tank to insert into. The rear mount is via a bolt secured through the SS tank mount frame plate. No airbox, 748 inlet trumpets fitted. |
Cheers guys Airbox will be gone Cranker .. have you got any pics? I thought a couple of guys had done this?? .. I know the monster frame is a bit lower but what's the prob .. does it clash with the frame? I've bought 1 (make that 2) now .. so it's going to fit!!!!!! :lol: |
It would be wise to extend the battery leads etc and put the battery under the seat unit. Chris:burn: |
i've got to make a small frame for the tank and seat unit anyway .. so could double it up as a battery box i guess |
Monster or SS chassis? Phil's monster has the 916 tank and without airbox etc and if you can fabricate the brackets to hold it, when I looked at doing it, it wasnt that hard (in theory) |

It's an SS |
ss has the pressure regulator on the carbs and the 916 has it in the tank, You only need 1, as for fitting it, It can't be that hard can it? I fitted one on my monster (without an airbox) but not seen one on a ss which is strange 'coz loads of people don't like the ss tank. I quite like the tank on my new ss... |
