[Larry Wiechman]

figured out that is same tank as me. red dot on mulemans would work perfect for mine

 You owe Muleman a beer. Maybe two.

Not my bike... but the best (Pipe side) pictures I have found....

as stewart has my motor and pipe.. I have no idea where I can stuff one and have access.. its all speculation

Now since I will have a Batt on the bike due to the Dual sport kit. I was thinking maby one of these would work... just hook to the horn button or somthing on the controlls

I have the 3.9 gal clarke tank

 This past weekend I built some tooling and fixtures for the compression release modification. Then, tried out the process on my '89 head.

Beautiful work Larry.  For us guys that run a large tank IMS, Clark, it looks like we're going to need the unit on the right side of the head. Any problem with that?  I was thinking their might be room on the left side if you were able to machine the unit to attach vertically sort of like a street L.  One last question what valve were you going to use?  The chain saw version or the other "Harley" version? 

Thanks

I made a bung and going to use the 2mm drill bit as a pin so it doesn't move when It is welded.

Sorry these are from my cell phone.

No.

I played around with that concept, but it got complicated fast. I think the other side is a better option.

The saw valve is smaller, cheaper and was manufactured with a LOT more quality control than any aftermarket HOG part.

Here you can see what Im dealing with with the zip ty  tank pipe combo...




here is my bike with the tank sitting on it      stewart has my motor and pipe, so I dont know where everything is in relation to the tank...

I'm trying to make one with a cable and hotstarter lever!!!

Where do you have space with a zip ty tank? My AF has a lot of space on the sides.
Would like to make it less visable, maybe I'll try it to make it on top or at the back of the head.

I think the back of the head would be more universally usable for all setups.

I was going to suggest that myself. 

[Dutch-K5 Fan]

Maybe I'll buy or make this one.
