Title: Muffler bracket
Post by Garry on 05/05/16 at 04:48:21

There is an item in the parts catalogue called the muffler bracket. Attached to the underneath of this bracket are two extensions about 4" long with what appear to be a mounting hole at each end of both extension. Does anyone know the purpose of the extension pieces mounted underneath this bracket. I thought perhaps an attachment point for a centre stand?

Cheers
Garry

That is where the canister mounts for the bikes sold in California. They have a vent system that takes vapor from the fuel tank vent, runs it into a canister, then burns it in the engine when the bike is running. On he CA bikes the fuel cap is not vented, the fuel tank has a vent tube that connects to the canister.

Thanks Dave, problem solved. Could be a good spot for an aux fuel tank?

are the tanks all the same Dave, with the exception of vented and non-vented gas caps?

if so, where's the CA models vent lines on the tanks? are they capped off or something?

The vent lineon the CA models comes down the bottom of the tank along the backbone, and it connects to the system about where the rear tank mount is. The other tanks don't have this vent line.

is there a metal vent tube under the tank on all the models?

thank Kris ... I went searching ebay for tank pics and found that the majority do NOT have the vent tube ... only a couple did have them ... I assume they're the CA models
