Any of you swapped to a dry sump engine and used the frame as the oil tank? The motor I'm looking at holds just over 2000cc of oil and I think I could connect a sealed off top tube to the motor.
Is keeping the oil away from the fuel tank the best bet? And the replies that say "just buy an oil tank" are pointless. If I wanted to go that route I would.
What bike/frame/motor are you talking about. There are multiple factory bikes that use the backbone as the oil tank. Need more info from you to really help though.
Sr500 or xt550 motor into an SR250. Suzuki gt380 tank with boatloads of room under because that bike is twin spar.
I think I can hide two fabbed tanks beside the spar that the tank can hang over and connect them to the spar as well with fittings. Should be 2300cc worth of room there.
The only way you'll be able to use the frame in that setup is to completely cut a section of frame out, fab a tank that structurally sound enough to replace said section and weld it all together. The inside of your frame is rusty. I gurantee it. You'll never keep the oil clean, nor will you be abke to easily close off a section of the stock backbone.
and vibration some well placed strengthening would be advised
the easy logical thing would be use an SR or TT frame
hey cosworth i have a tt frame(minus swinger) yours for the cost of shipping +30 fer my time
