Thanks Eagle for doing a awesome job of the ride report, almost makes me want to jump on the bike and doing it again.

Thanks also to Micknmeld for showing us his backyard and half the front yard to perhaps, hope I can repay the favour one day.

Should be a cracker Eagle, hopefully the weather gods will be kind

yes the trail out to Yellow Rock is tricky to find the first time, as is Coolawine

[Glenn ShawMember]

Sounds Like a “interesting” day, better than sleeping all day after nightshift.

Did you happen to take a run out to Yellow Rock while out Cedar Creek way ??

[Glenn ShawMember]

Same applies here, will depend on dates.

Why plumb it up ? cant you just stop and empty them into your tank ? that way you can lose the weight off the rear end sooner rather than have it splash around on the back.

I have used the rotopax but didn’t take a good look at thickness, my answer to your question would only be a guess sorry mate.

Can you use washers, spacers or O rings to help get you the right thickness ?

PTW

removing the Rotopax with Steel Pony’s fitted would be a PITA and a time waster. plus I need to drain the Tanks on the 990 to below half, for the rotopax to gravity feed to front crossover fuel line.

Bugger the thickness, what’s Plan A in this project.

plan is to plumb a rotopax in the same way as a Nomad Tank.

will post a detailed response when I get it all sorted.

You might be in luck mudrat :whistle: but it might not help :blink:
It all depends where on the tank you are looking at , they can vary from 10 to 25 mm at some points due to the rotamould process, generally it’s the top that ends up being thinner and the bottom is thicker because that’s where all the pressure is.
Hope that helps

from what I’ve been told (haven’t purchased rotopax yet), they are around 2.5/3.00 around the neck.

surely there not that 10. to 25. mm around the bottom, would make fitting the insert a breeze, as I need a minimum of 3.mm for it to work.

Seems some ppl, can’t read/understand English or know what they want :angry: :angry:

Anyway this is still For Sale if anyone’s after a front rim
