that wont be any good here Pete - you cant buy gasolene by the gallon here.... :P :P :P

Piece of mind Pete having extra fuel.
I suppose this means the previous posts about larger fuel tank between your legs and extra weight are a thing of the past!

Won't even Know it's there "Because it's behind Me" and that means it's just following Me. Hahaha

"No No" My Names not Billy, so i'm not silly "I ordered the Metric One"
That give me a total of 12.1133 Litres. (3.2 Gallons)
Sub Tank holds 3.80 Litres. (1.0 Gallon)
Should get about 200 if i ride like Will. ;D ;D ;D

good response!!!

Looks good Pete! Just the ticket for those extra "unplanned detours" :)

Peter,
I don't like your new Husaberg extra fuel tanks, my preference is for small tanks.

I fitted the Sub Frame Fuel Tank and i'm very happy with the Fit and the Installation Manual. You loose the Rear grab handle area , but i like to ride the Bike not lift it outta Bog Holes. I started installing the 110 Decibels Air Horns for the HCR today, but having trouble finding a good place for the Control Relay. John T will be installing a MP3 Player, Amp and Bar mounted motorbike Speakers, so when we stop to fix a Muppet's Flat tyre, we will have the Music Cranking, "should turn some Heads".
The only other project for our HCR Supercheap Auto Tent, will be a Fully functional Split System Airconditioner,5.0kw Cool/Heat, which is well under way, fully mobile and will plug into a 10A Socket, this should go well in the Taj Mahal with it's rope lighting and in house projection Cinema.

where are the photo's

If they run HD tubes and about 16 PSI you won't hear to many tunes :D

The 70 Degree Fuel Tank retails for $449.99 (U.S. currency) plus shipping.

That's about the same in South Pacific Paesos!

 ;D

NOT HAPPY JAN!!!

THE BASTARD LEAKS LIKE A SIEVE !!!

I have emailed 70 Degree about where the Tank Leaks, and hopefully something will be done.

"You think they would of pressure tested the Bastard"

That's a bummer!

Maybe it only seals in the Northern Hemisphere!

Never thought of That, howabout i  turn it Down side Up, maybe that will fix the Leak!!!

See the little brown marks just below the Black coupling and the Steel Hose Clamp, the Tank in that spot is like 2 pieces of Glad Wrap and has Pin holes in it.

Ok, i have received an email from 70 Deg and i will be sent a new one Monday.

Can't complain about that service.

Do you get to keep the dodgy one!  Whack a bit of silicone in there and sell it on e-bay!

Why would he sell it when he could give it to a fellow Berg owner?

That is good "customer service"..

I won't sell it, as it will be Destroyed, so you scabs don't get your scummy hands on it!!!

70 degree sent me an Email today confirming the new Tank was on it's way. 100% Customer Satisfaction is there Aim and looks like happening.

Question:  Who does Plastic Welding !!!!

Answer:  A Plastic Welder!!!!

I can do it, but not sure how it would go with a petrol tank, the petrol may be stronger than the solvent which I use and cause it to leak. Could be embarrassing 4 u. Will

Yes you can get your tank fixed I've had two tanks repaired by plastic welders, with no complaints or leaks. not sure were you would go in Melb though as the first of mine was done in Darwin and the second here in Wodonga. 

Pedro find a good quality sealant which is petrol proof and seal it up with that. do some research on the net first. Will

Folks are Dumb where i come from!!!
Thanks Nath, that's the sort of reply i would be making.

Thanks Guys, go it sorted.
Question: Anyone want to buy a fe 390/450/570 Sub Tank.
Asking price $250.00

You trying to profit from your so called mates now?

I'll give you a $100 for it.  Then I only need to get a 570 and i'm done

Sorry so called "MATE", but your offer is a bit Low!!

After working this morning, i decided to Fit the New Sub Tank, all went well and i even prepared the bike for the HCR.
I decided NOT to connect the Two Tanks together as this turns the Bike into one long Fuel Tank. So if i need to use the sub Tank, i will carry some hose to syphon from the Sub Tank to the Main Tank, it seems a better idea to me.
But i'm looking at installing a Tiny Fuel Solenoid between the two Tanks, so i can isolate the Sub Tank. "Even Better"

I think just join them both together, does not mean you have to fill her up, just put in what you need for your ride, saves the hassle of draining from one to the other etc. Will

But joining then will effect my aggressive riding style and Mono hold up ability, not to mention the Legs up Mono's.

How cum

 Isn't the sub tank lower than the main tank? If you just joined them together the fuel would flow from the main tank and out the vent of the sub tank.

Good thinking Tim, BUT the Sub Breather runs back to a T piece just ubove the Main filler cap!!!

I've got a sub frame tank on my Berg and having them connected together works fine without any noticeable effect on bike handling characteristics. Only downside I've found so far is filling the bike with fuel is slower. 

They must have the same guy designing these things as they did for the 2000 FE400 sub tank.
The one I fitted had a sealed filler cap and needed a vent to be up above the main tank.
I had a tap between the sub and a 'T' piece to the carb.
The last 100ml in the sub would not drain unless the bike was pointing down hill. (A cunning reserve maybe?)
I remember climbing the big hill to the lookout over Bright and having to do a couple of 'U' turns to refill the float bowl.
Another memory from a great 2 day with Alan White - does anybody remember Big Al? where is he????

Subframe Fuel Tank review:

Fitted the Subframe tank before the 2011 HCR event so i could see if it changed the feel of the bike, i didn't connect the 2 together, just took a piece of 1/4" hose to fill the Main Tank. I filled both tanks and took off from Abbeyard in a blaze of Glory at around 7.15am to do the Pre Sweep.
I didn't even notice it was there until the 132k mark, when i ran outta fuel from the main tank, so i refilled the main tank with the 1/4' hose and all was good.
So now i'm connecting the 2 together and leaving it alone.

Only Modification was to screw up the Rear shock spring by one turn.

Pros:
Extra 4 Ltrs.
Doesn't change the look or the shape of the bike.
Doesn't change the feel of the bike.
Fits perfectly.
Easy to fill as it has it's own filler cap.

Cons:
Mobile fuel tanker for other riders!!!
