Waiting For YZF Tank


Tank Set in Place

in the end i hope it looks something like this

you're off to a great start, keep up the good work!

forks are a must if you want it to look right.
I would greatly suggest USD forks (inverted forks)

so what are you gonna do about the airbox? you just doing pods?

ya i see what u mean about the forks

and im and cutting up the underside of the tank to fit the stock airbox and re welding it

so i found some more room for the airbox by moveing the velocity stacks 1 more notch into the box


here u can see the room it freed up


all done


when i do final assembly ill go back and seal up around the stack to make it air tight

When I was looking into this, it is aldo the front to back you have to deal with, and even with getting rid of my filler neck and trying it w/o velocity stacks still could not get it to fit. So I hope it works for you. I did the 1/2 YZF and 1/2 FZR aribox.

ya i was going to cut the underside of the tank to fit the air box

how does ur bike run with the half fzr half yzf airbox? did u have to rejet it?

to save you a little searching I also tried to link alot of the How-tos, and mods in my thread below

I would stear away from moding your tank, since there is ton of alot easier ways to get the job done w/o tank modification.

ya the how too's and wiki on this site has been great for information after doing some searching im going with pods but i do not want to rejet my carbs so im going to flow my stock airbox and restrict the pods to the same cfm as the stock airbox that way A/F will be the same i will post more pics when the pods come in im also looking for 99 to 02 r6 seats if anyone has them
