Doesn't add much weight, I have a decent sized lump of it in the garage.

I doubt if Dallas has had a race bike where he hasn't fitted the baffle foam, I think but would need to check that its a requirement at BSB level and above

Glad you knew what I meant Chaz, hence the wording 'BSB Level' and not 'BSB Class'

You will end up cutting it into blocks to get it into the tank, what size blocks depends on the tank and its entry points
