[QUOTE="westgl, post: 116567, member: 2025"] These two pictures show the width of the tank, on the bike with the tandem seat. I test rode it with the tank on there as i want to see if i would like it and if it was comfortable. I have had some bikes that the tank was too wide and made it uncomfortable. But this was NOT the case as the new Yamaha tank, riding position, is very comfortable riding with it, and leg position. [GALLERY=media, 22866][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 22867][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 22868][/GALLERY] I had a C109R that had a WIDE tank it was slightly bordering on uncomfortable on a Long ride but short rides were great. Here is a picture of My GL1500 that has the same Idea using a dual tank It has a Suzuki M109R Tank on it, tank is Wide and Long, 4.9 Gal.s The GL1500 project still needs the wiring to be brought inboard in between the frame rails, That is also another single Carb project. There are Miles of vacuum lines and smog valves every where on the GL15, converting it to single carb, I am really hopeful that it would really turn the GL15 into a power house. Stock 88' GL1500 100h.p. @ 5200rpm 110 lbs. per ft. @ 4000rpm 0-60 in 5.2 seconds If torque could get to the 120-125ft lb range, that would be awesome. It already has good sized 1.0" ID intake manifold runners, PVC pipe to plumb between the two manifolds and a Polaris adapter, and I'm in. But I dont want to get off subject. GL15 oem carbs, 2 Carbs 33mm CV-type 86' GL12 seat on the GL15, new seat cover not installed yet I want a narrower look with the engine to be very pronounced and sticking out all over the place. I wanted the GL15 to go between trike and two wheel If I wanted to change back and fourth. [GALLERY=media, 22872][/GALLERY] [/QUOTE]
