The volume stated is based
on mathematical calculation. Also some head space is considered into the estimate because a gas tank should never be filled
completely to the top. Some space should be left for the gas to expand due to heat and movement
Installation:
Typical installation locations include the rear rack or passenger pillion. The brackets each have 2 holes about 3/8-inch diameter
and about 4.75-inches apart. Once you have decided where to mount the tank you must make sure you mount it securely. On
a carburated bike it is pretty easy to tie into your fuel system with a T-Fitting by splicing into your bike's fuel line between
the main tank and carb(s). You'll need an in-line valve to control the flow of gas from the Tour Tank as well as other
fittings, which are included in the fuel connection kit. Fuel injected bikes are best served by taking your main motorcycle's
tank to a pro weld shop and have them weld a 1/4NPT threaded bung in the bottom of your tank. Then thread in a brass
fitting into the bung and hook the Tour Tank fuel line to that fitting and the Tour Tank gas will go to the main tank and
use the factory fuel pump.
Accessories:

with four O-Rings.
AFT-CAP: Locking Gas Cap fits all Tour Tanks. Includes
two keys.
AFT-PLA: This high quality aluminum plate can be used to mount the brackets. Aluminum
Mounting Plate is 8-inches square x 1/4-inch thick.
