Google Street View

One of my clients pointed out several years ago that the Google Street View of my house promoted my endeavors. I have referenced folks to the URL since then. Not knowing how long this imagery was static, I had the foresight to save the pictures. Glad I did because it looks like 5 years between updates. My cool pictures of my first FJR tank installation are gone now but here's what it used to look like:

Kawasaki Concourse 1400 Aux Tank

We've been asked many times for an aux tank for the Connie. It's been problematic due to the one piece seat. A client came down last summer (driving over 1800 miles I might add) to work out a solution. The project involved designing a solution and taking some initial measurements. Later a prototype mount was made up and sent off to verify the fitment. Once that was done the tank was made up.

This tank sits laterally on the bike over the tail and pillion seat. It is high enough to allow the seat to be removed with it in place. The stock tail rack assembly is removed and four 1/4" stainless steel brackets attach to the bike frame using the tail rack mounting holes and to an angle undercarriage on the tank.

This has taken some time, not because of delays on our part, but because of wintertime in Alberta, Canada. The client wasn't in any hurry. The product is finished up and will be shipped next week. Look for updates and more photos once the tank is installed.

This will be added to our product line up in the near future.

Here are some images of how it turned out:
