Safari is going to do it!! 4 - 4.5 gallons

Excited about this! I didn't get the IMS tank for my bike because I knew this one was coming.

Really hope they fit with my 7602 rad braces.

I like that the fuel pump elbow will now be easily accessible for tank removal, currently its tough to squeeze the fuel line release under the tank because the line is not really long enough to allow much space, and you can't pull hard on it because of the plastic elbow.

This bad boy should start shipping tomorrow.

You guys that have pre-ordered make sure you post/comment as soon as you get one in.


Installation instructions are up too:

They sure are nice tanks but they put the fuel pump in danger imo. The red plastic elbow is a disaster waiting to happen. I would send my fuel pump off to have Up-Tite install his nice brass elbow if/when I get one of these tanks.

Bump!

Any tanks in yet?

I just got this email back:


Our latest update is October 25th

Slow slow slow but should be worth waiting for.

I could have used this last weekend very much.....

Cool!

Thanks for the update.

Should be getting mine this week. Also look forward to see some sticker kit to fit this tank, talk to ringmaster in Melbourne they said to me that i need to order 4-5 sets before they will make a set

Ozzie, I got these made up for mine.

Hi brock have the guys got a web site?

Put my new tank on today, having trouble with the bracket is their any tricks to putting this on im havving alot of trouble with it

Any more feedback from those who've gotten one of the new tanks?

I installed the Safari tank on my TE310. Here's a pic from my shakedown ride with it after installation.



Just a couple of days later, I rode the LA-to-Barstow-to-Vegas Dual Sport ride with it. Here's pics from that ride...






The install was a little tricky, but it's solid as a rock once it's on. You need to be careful on routing the FI line and the electrical connection.

I have Rad Guards on, and the mounting bracket and the crossbar (that connects to the underside of both sides at the front of the tank) was tricky also. At least for me, it was not intuitive on the mounting; however I got it mounted without having to modify the rad guards. I had to install the bracket that mounts to the downtube very loosely, then slide it up as high as I could possibly push it on the downtube and mount the crossbar, then tighten the bracket. If I could have pushed the bracket up another 1/4", it probably would have been perfect. As it was, I just snugged up the crossbar and let it take up a little bit of the flex. Sorry I didn't take pics of the install, but there's another thread with pics and you can get the general idea from there.

A suggestion to Safari would be to allow the bracket to be mounted slightly lower on the downtube, and reconfigure the crossbar just a little to accomodate all the bikes with Rad Guards.

I had no problem with the seat fitting, once the tank was snugged down tight.

It's expensive, but I'm very happy with it!

Pretty straightforward install, just wish it had arrived sooner (came in late October) so I could have got some rides in before the rainy season.

Thanks for the replies.

Now I just have to figure out a way to convince the kids they want one for Christmas.

Looks Great!


Two questions:

1- I take it that is the White color, not the transparent white?

2- What is the piece of plastic on top of the front fender?

Thanks

Dan,

Yes, it's the white (not transparent) color.

I just recently purchased the bike from a guy back east. I think he may have ran a hare scrambles or maybe an enduro, and I think the little white plastic piece was for a card to be mounted in order to be marked at the checkpoints.

Just placed my order for a white tank today. Cant Wait!
