Replica black Tourist Trophy bobber rigid frame oil tank is 1-5/16" shorter to accommodate a raised position for chain alignment.
Replica black Tourist Trophy bobber rigid frame oil tank is 1-5/16" shorter to accommodate a raised position for chain alignment.
Tank raises the transmission and clutch pak for TT racing or hillclimbing for greater ground clearance. Battery compartment is short, so a small battery is required. Chain guard will be in a raised position so modifications must be made to the front mounting tab as most TT bikes did not use a chain guard in the early racing era. Oil tank front mount must be removed and rewelded in place 1.25" upward. The feed line is on the bottom and the returna nd vent lines are interchangable. To raise the transmission mount plate use (5) 1-5/16" spacers and mount as stock. This will require (2) 3/8"-24 UNF x 3" bolts and (2) 3/8"-24 UNF x 2-1/2" bolts for the transmission plate, on the 5th mount hole use (1) 3/8"-16 UNC x 2" bolt. The raising of the transmission with the use of the shorter "TT" oil tank also gives the advantage of the transmission and rear sprockets of being more inline for better power transmission thru the drivetrain.
