Kevin,

I mean the centre line of the tank, below the black line - you end up with a tank about three inches higher than stock - the cut line is not exactly straight bit curves with the knee recess in the tank. It caused no clearance problems .

The beater that did it said it was one of the most difficult but rewarding metal work he'd done. Luckily it was a labour of love for him as I paid him in beer money :-)

Unfortunately the tank went with the FJ when I sold it 2 years ago 

I now ride a '99 Busa & '93 YZF750

TeeCee,

Thanks for the clarification, I think I might give this a whirl after the weather turns cold and I am stuck indoors.  I can see how it would be a bit tricky with all the curves. I have a tig welder and some hammer and dolly work in my past (old sports cars)... this could be a fun project and the extra range would be great.

Good luck with the busa and the yzf.  I have never ridden a busa but hear they are real rocketships!

Thanks again for the info, you put me on the right track.  This is a great board!
Kevin
