Title: Tank lift?... Post by Serowbot on 03/04/12 at 12:12:22 Slight modification of the standard seat lift mod... I've got 2" lift on the seat, and 1' on the tank... Gives the bike a more standard profile... by using two spacers - one above, and one below the tank tab... Might be of use to some of you that are working out a non-Ryca cafe look... I also lock-nutted the whole spacer assembly, so that it stays together and mounted with the tank when I pull the tank... So, no more washer/rubber/tank/rubber/sleeve/spacer/ bolt reassembly... it all stays together, just loosen the bolts... Note...(the Raptor mod slightly decreases the reserve capacity... this should slightly increase it)... Might balance out... ...not that I really care, as long as the gas is in there somewhere... :-?... PS... Went to a bike swap-meet yesterday... The bike got a lot of attention, and guesses as to what it was... ;D... http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt82/serowbot/rerun/tanklift003.jpg http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt82/serowbot/rerun/tanklift001.jpg |

Title: Re: Tank lift?... Post by Serowbot on 03/04/12 at 17:44:54 Rear fender is off some 70/80's jap bike,... I know it was Japanese because it was stamped on the tailight...(didn't use the tailight).. but, that's all I know. Got it in a scrapyard... I think the bolts are around 3",.. not really sure... but, that's close... Looks pretty high, huh?... ;D... Seat's very comfy that way... |
