There seems to have been some confusion here. Now lets all sit down, have a cup of tea and relax.

Nice.

That's better.

c'mon guys I think your all been a bit mean here. we'd all look pretty stupid if it did turn out he had a tesco bag instead of a petrol tank.

Boom boom box take some pics, and if you can pop them into paint or photo shop so that you can highlight the areas which seem to be causing your concern. Im sure that someone on here will be able to give you a straight and simple answer, which should clear everything up.

Even though I kinda knew what he was getting at, I did hope to see some bodge-repair or redneck fuel tank hehe.

Re: Where is the fuel? Lifted fuel tank.
 
Im going to take pity on him.. i believe he was trying to say that he expected the fuel tank to be more box like in shape (instead of curving around the airbox) and that his suprise is that the fuel tank appears from the outside to be much larger than it is. its that shape to stop the fuel sloshing around so much that it unbalances the bike. besides if the whole space for the airbox was fuel tank i think it would have about a 1000 miles between fills giving the fuel time to go off (kinda clutching at straws)

think im gunna go try youtube some automotive hillbilly bodge jobs. fingers crossed for tesco bag fuel tank

Lots of other bikes are fine without one, dunno why they bothered overcomplicating things... like rest of pointy design I suppose...
