A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.
Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Other than being hideous?
A few things come to mind:
Yes i know it will be ugly thats the point my bikeA few things come to mind:
1. If it is your only source of fuel, your range will be severly limited due to less capacity.
2. Even with the limited capacity, the center of gravity will be affected rather negatively. You will be moving weight up and rearward. Not only that, you will be putting it behind the rear axle, which also removes weight from the front.
3. If you are ever involved in an incident where you and the bike part company at speed, the back of the bike is the second-most likely area to be damaged (right after the front end). There is NOTHING there to protect the tank or any tubing that leads from it to the engine. In the stock location, it is basically only vulnerable from above or the sides, but it has the handlebars to stop the bike from landing directly on the tank.
4. By raising the tank and increasing the vertical displacement between the tank and the carbs, you will be increasing the fuel pressure at the carbs. If your float valves are the least bit 'out of shape', you will know it rather quickly.
Many other points, I am sure, but these should be enough to make you think twice about it.
By the way, what is the meaning of "A (dollar sign) (dollar sign)".
It is rather suprising, but one of the words that our resident nanny filter does NOT filter out is ASS.
If you mean it, say it.
