XTX Storage and fuel

[pedros83]

Just wanted to share my custom storage and fuel setup for you xtx guys. Bought a pelican storm case for storage
://www.amazon.com/Pelican-Storm-IM2075-Black-Case/dp/B0018NE6GW
Mounted it sideways and fastened with self tapping screws through inside.

Then for the fuel i went to princess auto and bought this...

Cut the two ends off and riveted it to the tunnel. Fabbed up a bungee strap holder to hold the can. Then Rivited a piece of galvanized sheet metal to the front to protect from exhaust heat and painted it with high heat paint. 250km so far and all is well. Pouned trails hard and nothing bugded.

The whole setup with the sale price on amazon cost me $75. Alot cheaper then mountain addiction setup. And almost as nice lol

Nice. How many litres is that gas tank?

I had a friend recently do something similar with two Rotopax cans. Added a heat shield, relocated the brake light with an LED trailer light. Turned out well.

 

[pedros83]

5 litres

Nice job.
If you put a trail tank on it, you could some serious range then.

Was thinking that. I fill up the same time as all my buddies anyway with a normal tank. So the added fuel is already a bonus lol
