I finally got around to building one of those service fuel tanks used for testing and tuning a bike with the gas tank removed. I've needed one for the 360 for forever, and the Interceptor needs one until I can figure out how to get the gas tank cap unlocked.

I started with one of those sorority girl aluminum water bottle things - I dug in the lost and found at work to find a suitable one. I then drilled a hole in the bottom and threaded in a 1/4" barbed fitting and sealed it with JB Weld gas tank epoxy. I added a breather hole in the screw on lid, and made sure it was big enough to stick the fuel hose in to prevent drips while it is being stored.

I added a fuel filter and a quarter turn shutoff valve from a lawn mower and ended it in a 1/4" to 1/4" barbed fitting, which should work with most motorcycle fuel supplies. I guess I'll need a T or a Y for the 360 though.

They really are a subclass of human being. A failure of evolution if you will.

Hey. I can read that and I'm color blind so stop picking on us.

I'm read-green deficient and some shades look all wrong to me when they look fine to others, so I stick to strong colors or blues. Wiring is always a PIA working out some of the less bold colors or on old wiring that has faded. Then it's "honey, is that wire pink or is it pale green?" Better to ask that to f*#k it up I figure.

Thanks man, I didn't like the idea of paying $50 for something I could build.

How do you know what flavor of pie you are ordering? (serious question .....sorta)

 

[Rich Ard]

I say "I'd like some cherry pie, please". How do you order pie?

 

[4eyes]

I look at the pie display and point and say, I'd like that one please.

 

[Rich Ard]

That sounds awesome. I only wish that in my horrible disability I could have it so easy.

 

[4eyes]

Perhaps you have evolved beyond the point and grunt stage. ;D

 

[teazer]

I do the same. Point at the one that says APPLE or whatever, and ask for it. You buy pie by its color? If there;s a top crust, there's nothing to see and if it's pumpkin or apple without a top crust you can see what's in it. Pie buying may be an art form but it's not rocket science.

A more pertinent question might be how the heck do we decide what color to paint a bike and how do we know what it looks like and the answer is that as long as it looks good to me, who gives a crap?

There are drugs that can let you experience that, BTW.... You can even smell the colors, or taste them, or just play with them....but I digress

I can only speak for mine but it is purple with crystals on it. Maybe blue. Shit.
