The most difficult part of installing your tank is deciding where and how to mount
the tank. If you have a rear rack it helps a lot. The brackets each have 2 holes
about 3/8-inch diameter, use 5/16 bolts, and about 4.75-inches apart. Once you have
decided where to mount the tank you must make sure you mount it securely. There are
so many different bikes and different ways to mount a Tour Tank that it is impossible
to cover them.
On a carbed bike it is pretty easy to tie into your fuel system with a T-Fitting by
splicing into your bike's fuel line between the main tank and carb(s). You'll need
an in-line valve to control the flow of gas from the Tour Tank as well as other
fittings, which are included in our connection kits.
Fuel injected bikes are best served by taking your main tank to a pro weld shop
and have them weld a 1/4NPT threaded bung in the bottom of your tank. Then
thread in a brass fitting into the bung and hook the Tour Tank fuel line to that
fitting and the Tour Tank gas will go to the main tank and use the factory fuel
pump.
Also note that Tour Tanks have a Vent tube or a Rollover valve vent tube.
You need to connect a fuel hose to the vent tube/Rollvover valve and connect the other
end of the hose to a catch tank or your factory charcoal canister.
