As many of you may know I have been selling gas tank set back plates so the over size 250 tank can be mounted on the 450 with no modifications to the tank and it works well. I have been running this set up for quite some time as have many others. But I just decided to do a tank modification so the over size 250 tank would hold more gas and this is what I came up with. First i bought a new tank from eBay then cut the tunnel out and lowered it about 2-1/2 inches then of course had to reinstall the front tank mounts. Even modified the rear tank mount to the same as a stock 450 mount. Here are some pictures before, during, and after. Will be sealed with Caswell sealer and then off to the paint shop.

I still don't know how much fuel the tank will hold but I did get the Caswell Sealer in the tank then started sanding on it getting ready to paint. We've got rain moving in so maybe next week.
