Hmmmm loverrrly.

Kev, would you know if that's the standard tank outlet - I know its 851 territory, but I figure you know Corsa gear better than anyone!

Its a shame I only won an Alloy 900ss tank a while back, as I'm thinking (at some time) of turning my Keihin FCR's to run gravity, even though I didnt have leakage issues previously. Sorry, enough blather

Frank you would need to ASK Ron Jolley as it was his tank on Ebay the one he fitted to his DD bike after his Pembrey Crash.
It fitted his Monster very well but is unlikely to fit on a SS frame

well I have a 916 tank now and it feels half the weight (minus pump) of the 600 SS one in my other hand. Juts have to work out how the hell to fit it!!

Standard for what?

it is standard for 851, but not for a Monster. They use an internal fuel pump, but I ran it with a small external pump and extended the feed into the bottom of the tank. It is still sat in my garage ready to be re-listed in the spring.

Bolt the hole at the back of the tank to the flat bit of frame over the shock (with a rubber spacer to block it up a bit), and make a bracket up at the front (that will be the tricky bit!).

doing the opposite - or the tank finishes 6 inches in front of the headstock - but we'll see how it comes out using my new Mig

You'll have to spread your legs wide if you mount it the opposite way
