Hi Sidney I like tanks with recessed fillers. Have you deliberately removed the drain from that filler cap?

Hi Sidney I like tanks with recessed fillers. Have you deliberately removed the drain from that filler cap? hi bud me to I just thought it would look nice something different !! Yes I did I had to cut it out it was very thin there so I welded a peice in ,It should be ok to the caps as you probably know have rubber round them so no weather should get into the tank recess !! I tryed Mt tzr cap in it fitted nice n snug ,

So this morning I made a new sprocket spacer out of stainless,it's wider to to work with my offset sprocket , hopefully it will seal nice you can see the wear groove's in the old spacer that's probably why I had a oil weep from the seal ! Time will tell ,Chris

Great work as always Chris I love the tank filler. I had one on a spare Rd400 tank once, and it suited the tank really well I think, plus it's another mod that sets it apart from others as it's not a simple bolt on mod. I now have another Tz alloy tank, for a long distant project idea, and I may fit one to that as I do like them. Just tried uploading the vid again but Flikr isn't seeing it at the mo - dont know why as pics upload as normal. I will keep trying for you Looking forward to seeing the paint Dusty
