I paid £35 including shipping so not so bad!
Like comparing a 50. Cal and a .22
have you drilled the filler neck yet...?
You'll have to educate me on this one!
classic mod allows more fuel to be put in the tank and quicker refill for a hot dustoff when on the road...!
I’ll do some research thanks for the tip!
And spin it round 180 degrees while you’re at it. Loads easier to fill up.
and do that external fuel filter mod... another classic...
SnapI’ll see how I get on, but it’s nice to have the optionI’ve an SC project on my 1250GSA and it just makes me smile every time I crank open the throttle or roll off for that matter

not much louder than stock but sounds the business and looks class.Attachments
That was ok
I drilled 2 holes and then cut out the bit between. 32 litres capacity and quick/less splashy when refuelling. Just don’t fill it and leave it in the sun…
You just rotate the outer part by undoing the 6 bolts and then refit them after spinning the cap around. A 2min job that makes it easier to get a fuel nozzle in.
I tried that for a bit....
Now I just run my Rocksters on the catalyser and a tip. Not much louder than stock, and room for full-sized panniers.
Just needs some nicely flammable rag...
(just for reference - when I did this the tank was empty, and the rag was more to stop swarf getting into the tank.
)
That tank mod is one I never bothered with. I generally need a leg stretch at tank fill-up time anyway (and mine is a standard 1150 GS).
I got p’d off with having to refuel every other day when commuting to work in the early 2000’s, so swapped to a GSA tank and this mod in 2004. It’s not just about doing long distances on one journey… I could stretch to every 4th or 5th day instead

That's the main reason I did it too (on my 2nd and 3rd Rocksters anyway, after that it just became a habit...). Doing a 110mile round journey every day - I was trying to use the cheapest fuel on that route I could, but the standard range can't "quite" make it a 2-day event, I ended up filling every day, which was tedious as hell. Adding about 30 miles of range (ish) meant I could fill up every other day instead.
IIRC the Rockster tank goes on to reserve at about 145 miles normally, (and there's 45 miles in that reserve) but with the mod - the reserve light comes on at about 165/170 miles instead, with 98RON and gentle, efficient riding I've even seen it come on at 205 miles.....
And it's as simple as unbolting the filler cap and drilling two holes in it?!That's the main reason I did it too (on my 2nd and 3rd Rocksters anyway, after that it just became a habit...).

yup... undo drill and wipe off the drill shavings so they get into the fuel system and bob's yer fanny...!
Part 7
Finally got the repurposed Remus can fitted and what a peach it is!
Had some fun aligning the hidden exhaust bracket fitting but got her in the end.
Excuse the state of the garage.
Spoke to Mr Gemi last night and I’m in the process of getting a Stage 15 Chip as well. Anyone have any experience with the updated chips? And does anyone know if this bike has one already fitted? Video of the sound to follow
