the 74 z1 turbo project again

both of my drag bikes have been raked about ten degrees and i have absolutly no problems mounting the tanks one has the neck raked and the other has the frame raked so i have both situations i used to run the large stock 900 tank on the frame with the neck rake and it was no problem the frame raked bike now has the big tank and it fits fine the big bike now has the small ltd tank so if your having a problem you might want to go with one of those they are quite a bit smaller. if the price is right you should grab the frame.

wuss that's what the throttle and rear brake are for obviously you have not ridden flat track or iceraced have you sir by the way i just officially enter the old guy club yesterday 45 wrinkled years old man my life sucks.nothing better to do than hang around here and talk about 35 year old bikes

that aint the part that seems to be causing me an issue i'm kind of hoping they can install some sort of gate valve tho.

thats my problem now thats why i thought the gatevalve would be better.

I hate when you guys go back and delete posts after the fact and now I'm lost!:laugh: :laugh:

welcome to my world i feel lost all the time.

Dang now I don't know if plummen was helpin me out or pickin on me :lol:

The price is right its free I'll try and get some pics up and you can see what you think

knowing him he was doing both .

Around here, most guys rake the frame by cutting about an inch out of the top tube under the tank and then pulling the neck back til the tube meets up again. Then weld them together again. I have a frame like that and a stock tank won't work. Will have to move tank mounts back about 1/2 inch to clear the neck. I prefer to remove the neck and weld on another in the desired rake or some will cut the stock neck down the side at the desired rake and then weld another neck tube onto the cut neck already on the frame. It's the harder way to do it but, in my opinion, it's the best way to do it.
