Tank is back on my bike but damned if I know whether it works or not as the battery is back on charge...
I'm not totally convinced its going to work but one can only hope...

See you haven't gone the route of replacing the fuel line connectors with metal ones.

I considered it, but there seem too many cases of the plastic ones breaking as you try to remove them and the job becoming a right pain.

I decided if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hope it all fires up OK when you get a spark.

I had one break off flush with the tank on a MK2 Speed Triple.
It was easily removed by heating up a large screwdriver using a blow lamp. Then pressing it into what was left of the fuel line connector & allowing it to cool...

I probably should have drained the tank first? 😗
But nobody died 🙂

I've been playing with the Monster, removed some stickers, gave it a bit of a polish, fitted Beeline and GoPro mounts, installed a gear indicator, and fitted a tank protector.

I guess its not been anywhere near the optimal temperature to stick on a tank protector, so will see tomorrow if its ok :confused:

And it may also have been a mistake to get one with a logo on it, because the stripes on the tank being off center, its going to drive my OCD mad thinking the logo isn't centered properly 🤪
