Super Jet tank installion/mods

What is everyone doing for their superjet tank installation? Did you mod the hood lip area at all?

What did you do to keep your tank from rubbing and sliding?

I don’t think I’d have to mod the tank at all. For some reason people cut out the lip area of the hood seal in a couple spots. Not exactly sure why. Superjet tank is easier to get in and out with out removing the b pipe it appears ( I have an actuall fx1 pipe). I was doing some mock up, using fx1 and sj tank. And the sj tank is easier to get in and out. I want it to be secure when riding so I may install a ufo mount for a new spot for my strap hooks, as well as one of those stock sj tank wedges.


I actually had no issues with my pipe running on that front motor mount last season. I rode a lot and pretty hard too. I’ll keep an eye on this on my install.
 
A little off topic, but I love the hammered metal finish on your cases and stator cover. It looks just like how the Factory B pipe headpipe finish.
Thanks. It’s powder coat. It called silver vane finish.

After the fact, I won’t powder coat another engine. It retains more heat. I didn’t know this before starting the process.
