hello folks. so, i am in a bit of a conundrum. i am not sure if i should go with the 3L gas tank w/ double tank setup (w/ stock) or go with a single 5L gas tank. the stock gas tank (1.5L?) just isn't convenient enough and it is too small to fill with gas at the gas station.
1. 4.5L (total) = 3L (front bar) + 1.5L (rear rack) = 1.18 gallons
- total cost = $27 = $22 tank + $5 in materials
- i guess i will have both peacocks open. not sure about the physics but i assume 1.5L will drain first then i will fill 3L when low and fill 1.5L completely. this should work with 1 gallon of gas at gas station.
2. 5L (front bar) = 1.32 gallons
- total cost = $68 = $50 tank + $18 shipping
- problem here is that the length of this tank is 16" and extends into the front of my seat. i am short so i really need that seat as low as possible...
- plus is that red is my favorite color and matches my helmet
- also it is a bit pricey for me...
am i missing something fundamental with any of the assumptions for both setups.
here are the links to both auctions on eBay. I love eBay and both of these sellers have good ratings.
