748-998 aluminum water reservoir tank

[moto]

A local fabricator is building a one piece aluminum water reservoir tank for my 996R to fit in the original location.



He made a billet filler neck that will be welded to the box so there will be no chance of leaking.



I can ask him to make a few extra after I get the first prototype finished and test fitted on my bike. Let me know of you are interested.

I'm in

Assuming there are no frame differences in that area between your 996R and my 748 I am in for one.

I have pissed away enough money on my 748 what is another $160 for some peace of mind.

We are fit checking the prototype on a 748, 996 and 998 as well - so we should be good.

Does the water tank fit in the oem space or around the steering head ?

[moto]

OEM space with easier access to the filler.

I will take one for sure and possibly 2 if funds are available.

I'm interested also. Any idea on ETA?

[moto]

Tank should be completed by 4/20 if no changes have to be made.

Here is a picture of the completed billet filler neck that will be welded into the reservoir.

We have had over a dozen requests so far...so I put it up on the Motowheels website so anyone that is interested can pre-order.

Projected ship date is mid May.

Tanks will be slightly polished

Return line is configured exactly the same as the original tanks.

There will be provisions for the air pressure sensor mount

All tanks will be pressure tested before they ship.

I'll update this thread as we are checking fit and testing.

Nice! I placed and order on April 27th but haven't heard back from your sales staff. I'll forward the e-mail to you, just in case.

Brian sent an email to you.
Let me know if you have not received it.

[molasses]

Yes, Brian has sent me a reply and I'm already looking forward to receiving the coolant tank. Thanks a lot, Martin!

I love custom aluminum goodies...

For anyone interested, I run a small powdercoating operation and I can do a speedzilla special and do one of these in any single color for $50 + shipping.

Pm me if interested!

Here is an updated picture.



We fit tested this on several bikes...they will be pressure tested and shipped to us next week.

Tanks are done and being pressure tested before they can ship:
