Yeah the ss tank is ok .. i just find it a bit wide at the top and find myself reaching over it a bit when i'm off the side of the bike

bally71 14-Jun-2013 11:28

And i just like fiddling with stuff if i'm honest

Its a harder fit for sure adn the frame is different, on a monster lift off the airbox and battery box and drops on. An SS doesnt, so either bash the tank or adjust the frame.

Ive noticed when I rode phils just how much better it is with the 916 tank. It has tall sides like SS for gripping but far further forward so easy to tuck in. Best of both worlds.
