Coolant Tank

[xracerbob]

I am realizing now that it wasn't the frame tube but that alternator mount/tensioner that interfered. I looked at all sorts of relocating options for the alternator, but couldn't come up with one that didn't require frame modifications which I did not want to do. If you have a different alternator mount, the spacer may not be necessary, but if you are using ERA's hardware for a FE, I think you would have the same issue. I think the Kirkhams charged me like $30 for the spacer.

Hope this helps.

I am also on my 2nd tank. When it goes I was thinking of the Kirkham tank and my main concern was hood clearance. Your pics and comments have explained everything. Thanks again for taking the time to post the pics.

ERA offers a reproduction of the original done in black epoxy, but it costs $450. Was it one of these that originally failed? Also, can you share the cost of the Kirkham tank? I have my deposit in and am slowly working through the details.

Thanks,

Kevin
