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.

 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?Huh

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!!!
