Zip...Dude, you're the first to say that to me! Cherry popped. LOL
Wow, now that that's over, I must say its not what I expected. Oh well. 40's the new 30 right?

No spare tank, no sir's. but I am pack'n a 5.5 gal tank under the seat. Its stealthy too, cant even see it. brings me to a 150-165 mile light in town and a 200-210 at most on the highway to red. it cost me $5 from a guy in Portland. Best/cheapest mod Ive done. It took about three hours to install with no adapting, popped right in. Too bad the factory doesn't make them stock.

Its a bigger tank made in Germany from http://www.schwabenmax.de/English/index_alteng.htm fits in the stock location, takes up available space that the stock one couldn't. Like under the side covers, there's at least an inch gap, it comes to the rear toward the tire, and up under the middle seat flip section. comes out to a little over 5.5 gallons. I can ham fist it all day and not worry, or on a long ride I can stay with sport bikes and not have to worry about where the next fill up is. Problem is its WAY too expensive to order. I lucked out and was at the right place at the right time, I picked my tank up for the price of shipping, $5.

I bought it used.......

I do not know.....I don't know anything other than mileage, windshield, crash bars....all else appeared stock.....

From the RPMs in high gear at certain speeds it seems I might have a venture diff......4000 rpms is ALMOST 65mph......but not quite....:confused2:

Ya, that's low compared to mine. Ah well, enjoy it!
