As most that have been keeping up with this thread know I have a MT Racer I built. Being I have much money in it and do not want to up grade to a MT2 yet as well as have all most no run time on it I am up grading it the best I can. Will I was thinking it would be nice to have a bigger fuel tank so I check and saw the part number for the MT2 fuel tank and the MT Racer had the same part number for the fuel tanks so I thought the 100cc tank would fit. The only difference between the two is the MT Racer comes with the race tank with out a primer. Stupid me did not thinking they might mount different!
Well I received my longer rear shocks and the 100cc tank to day and guess what they do mount much different on the MT2 and the MT racer! But I was not giving up with out a fight. After doing some modifications I got it to work and here is a picture below. There are only 2 concerns I have with this modification.
The first is I had to cut off one of the mounts to the upper deck to the lower deck where the original tank mount was and two the fuel tanks is close but not touching the silencer. It is not touching even when moving it because of being rubber mounted so I think this will not be a problem. As far as the mount for the upper deck I am considering making a mount with a spacer.
Now to see how the longer rear shock are going to work, as I have not installed them yet.
