    I know the guy you mentioned who makes big tanks for endurance racing is backed up a bit, but do you know of any person(s) that can make larger tanks? Not a whole lot of guys who do tanks for Kawasakis. Any help would be killer. Thanks.

    Former racer Tom Rose from Michigan made larger tanks a few years ago. You may try to look him up. Don't have a current number but it might be worth a try to look him up.

    Big tanks are overrated. You get a big tank and then the bike is heavy, the suspension needs to be changed, you have to ride two hour stints, you get dizzy and crash, etc.

    The best bet would be to make your tank smaller (ask Scott from Neighbor of the Beast to help you out there). The bike will be lighter, faster and easier to ride. And then you only have to ride 30 min stints! You won’t even break a sweat.

    In fact all of the MWSB teams should run smaller tanks.

    I hope that helps!

    How about some sort of large tank disarmament treaty?

    No one will run a tank larger than 3 gallons!

    I have decided to go with the "small is better" and so has my girlfriend, thank goodness. Anyway since I have gone small I have contacted the Air Force and let them know that I may need several fly by fill ups in between pit stops. My gps should allow them to track me and come down to the track for the fill ups.

    Killer idea - what if we were allowed to use our "B" bikes to run up beside the "A" bike and refuel mid straight? A bit messy if not done by turn one, but those are the chances we would tank. Huh? Anyone? [​IMG]
