Hi all, looking for some guidance from members who have fitted the big TT tank. I found a tank recently local to me in Ireland which is probably a small miracle, I was looking for an adventure tank but this popped up and was cheaper and less damaged than the usual GSA ones, also the colour is a good match for my silver bike. It didn’t come with any hardware so will use the ones I have. As the tanks are long finished being sold there’s no extra fixings available like the pickup extension and float arm.
Will I get a good usable fuel range by just moving the fuel assembly plate one turn anticlockwise so the fuel pump pickup runs lower in the tank or am I better trying to make up some sort of extension pipe to the fuel pickup and leavening the plate in the original oem position. I want to be able to swap out the tanks when needed so the least amount of changes the better. I presume if I rotate the assembly plate one turn to lower the pump pickup the float arm will read very inaccurately and I will have to bend the float arm down a good bit to try and make it read better, would that be correct ? Thanks for any help.

Sparkplug has an 85 litre tank on his! :D
The thing is mahoosive.
 
That’s a cracking find - can’t help with the tech info but my word that’s a large tank!

Yep I was lucky ! With the price of petrol now I won’t be brimming it every time 🤣
 
Very surprised a how light it feels empty, probably a very different matter with 40 litres of fuel in it but the main lobes are very low which must help with centre of gravity.
 
Good find!
No idea about the pump and float assy.
I have a standard adventure tank (32liter or how ever many) with the small tank pump and float, so the level indication is not accurate.
I Know that from full i can cimfotably get 550km.
I reset the trip meter at each fill and cross check between the RID and Km.
 
Steptoe is the man for this conundrum.

Smashing find by the way.

I'd imagine your arse cheeks would turn Baboon red and you'd be walking like John Wayne if you tried to empty that tank without stopping. 😇
