Got the tank mounted on my rupp cub

[DaveL12]

I mounted my tank it took a little bit of customizing of the brackets/clamps whatever they're called in this case lol I thought I figured out a pretty clean way that works for my bike and figured I'd share some pics

Seems to be the best way I could have done it considering the amount of space I had and not wanting to use a fuel pump, I only needed to use about an inch of fuel line from the petcock to the fuel filter and from the fuel filter I trimmed an inch off the smaller black fuel line that came stock on the predator. I know this is a small tank for this engine but I won't be taking the bike on long rides so it is Adequate for me. Hopefully it doesn't leak lol

Nice job. Looks good and clean.:thumbsup:

 

[DaveL12]

Will the tank being that close to the header pipe cause any problems?

 

[OND]

Now that is clever and clean...nice job ! :thumbsup:

 

[DaveL12]

Thanks guys! I was pretty proud when it turned out exactly how I was envisioning it

I like it :thumbsup: I made a tracing of the seat bottom and profile before I sold my cub recently, might require you making a new seatbottom though, but I can maybe scan it or trace it onto something and mail it if you decide to go that route.

I myself would probably wrap the header ...at least the part where its close to the tank.

Markus judging by your picture I think the wood I found under the terrible upholstery when I got this bike was original...

maybe I'm wrong?
OND I was planning on wrapping it when I got the money for some, just for the cosmetic appeal. I'm glad you think It will work!

sure looks like it :thumbsup: that curved seat was probably my favorite part of that bike!

 

[DaveL12]

I wouldn't be able to do the upholstery job any justice with those curves so I figured I'd stick to something with corners haha can't believe you sold yours! She was a beaut

Looks great Dave :thumbsup: send me your address and I'll send you a couple of feet of header wrap :thumbsup:

 

[DaveL12]

Wow thanks! I appreciate that immensely I'll send you a pm

 

[DaveL12]

I'd like to thank Randy (Harleys Papa) for hooking me up with the header wrap he graciously offered and mailed to me. I received it in the mail today and was able to wrap my header

I think it turned out great! Again thank you Randy for the favor, now I can cross "Wrap header" off the to do list

 

[buckeye]

There sure are some good folks on here. And Randy is right up there.:thumbsup:

 

[manchester1]

[DaveL12]

Couldn't agree more!
