Extra gallon, adventure of the [North]West indeed. No easy fix for that one - I'm not about to trash my spiffy new paint job [yet]. But there's this gas station in Whitehorse? The Primary Spousal Unit and myself have coasted down the hill on fumes twice now - the attendants are recognizing us. ;^} (cynical smirk)
I don't have anything fancy just plain black so cutting up the tank is no big deal. And I have ran out of gas a few times so need to do something about it.
My brother is going to cut out the tunnel and gas cap. Then we are going to cut it down the middle and then we will widen (open) up the front end a couple inches. Then we will tilt it out a few degrees from the top. Then weld in the tunnel and make the missing material and weld it in and then put the cap in closer to the top.
Thinking this will give me another gallon. My 3.4 gl tank doesn't go far so another gallon will be good on the long runs.
Then I will have it repainted black and probably put on some gold leaf and maybe a pinup girl.
Gotta do something to compete with my ridin buddies with there fancy paint jobs.
Later,
Ray
