So the idea came to me today, while I was looking at the dented tank onone of my donor bikes, to do away with the fuel tank on my motorcycle altogether.
Heres my thinking;
I am getting a Lithium battery that can fit under the back cowling, where the tool kit rests. Freeing up a space where the regular battery is. In addition to that space, I will be removing the air boxes, which resides infront of the battery. This will give me an area (approx)7"x8"x 8". And I thought it would be a good spot for a fuel cell. It would also allow me to get real low...., as well as being lighter. 2-3 liters is enough for me to make 2-3 runs I figure.
Having looked at what I can find with google, there is next to nothing in the parameters listed above.
Can I have my local welding guru fab one up for me? Or are there certification (documentation) issues. I figure so long its not dripping/leaking/pressure tested, all should be good right?
Secondly,
I know that the rules state that the battery MUST be secured with a steel strap. Would Stainless steel cable ties be considered a strap?
Cheers
