tour buddy?

[skoalring11]

I was looking at the Nytro trying to see where I could possibly install a tour buddy gas tank for a few extra gallons of gas so I messed around with photoshop and came up with something let me know what you guys think.

looks good you could probably double the size.

My first thought:

12+lbs (assuming 2 gallon tour budy) seems like a lot of weight to be sloshing around on a clutch guard. Unless I am missing something as to how it is supported.

 

[skoalring11]

yeah you would need someway to suppourt it so that all the weight isnt on the clutch cover

My dealer promised 100miles per tank or he would buy it back

Sweet idea! It could be mounted to casting behind it, not the clutch guard.

Where could you put a TURBO?

i was lookin at one of those before i bought my war for a sxr 500. it mounted right on the belt gaurd in that sled as well. look at (i think) kingers rx1 with the 110 octane tank mounted right on the belt gaurd.

You are looking at ATLEAST 100miles. People are saying 100-120 milea a tank.

i rode 110 miles on 24 litres of gas on my phazer so nytro should be similar,that means i had 6 litres left and the nytro has 26 litres so 110-120 sounds right

the ZX chassis DOO's used to mount the Tour Buddy on the clutch guard. you just had to reinforce the underside of it with a couple strips of aluminum. never had a problem.

great thing to have, but IMO it's too square looking. too bad they couldnt have designed it a little more round. i do like the tank above the clutch cover idea..
