    Hey Norm, you need to Chaperon that tank to Las Vegas. You have seen the commercials and you know what happens out there.

    Sorry Norman, no pics yet. I didn't even get to see it for myself. Jeff said it came in tuesday and shipped out tuesday for Vegas. They did fit it to a 125 and he said it fit good with a few minor things to address.

    They are leaving friday and Jeff said he would take pics of the tank from the Endurocross. Most likely on one of the TC 250's.

    I'm getting 30-35 miles on a tank right now. The 2.7gallon tank would put me at 43-50 miles. Better, but still not stellar. I'm getting 16-19mpg on my WR125 but think I may be jetted a little rich. What are you guys getting?

    My tank has arrived after being all over the U.S.! It is all Kevlar, no Carbon Fiber. it might look a little less sexy (Still a work of art), but the plus is.... It's translucent, so you can see the fuel level. I'll post some pics tonight.

    I'm anxiously awaiting those pics :thumbsup:

    I've seen many kevlar products but not a tank. Did he do that specifically to make it translucent or was there another reason?

    Carbon fiber is fairly brittle compared to Kevlar as I recall.

    Hey... I remember that bike! That was Joel Dengler's #10 factory factory Husky GNCC bike.

    He had some good results... it's a shame that he and Freddy didn't have any money behind them.
