LMAO. Sorry Rae. But if it makes you feel any better I just got the LC back together from installing the aux fuel cell. Managed to screw up two threads on the bike. Oh well. The bolt is in there. May never come back out but it is in there. Stupid metric thread sizes.

Should have bought a tap to redo it but all I have is standard taps.

But that being said the aux tank is in there and I now have a normal bikes range of 160- 180 miles. Once I get the carbs re-done from the dealer screwup then I should be in the 190 to 240 range.

G-Man industries makes a fuel cell for the "LC" 1500 and the C90 among other bikes. But I do not think he makes one for the C50's and all. It gives me an extra 2 gallons for the design I got.

Works like a champ. Pumps 2 gallons back into the main tank which gives me an extra 60-70 mile range.
