[QUOTE="Hello Kitty, post: 878077, member: 19029"] I won't claim to speak for Roger, but I [B]think[/B] the bulk of the problems might have been self induced in a way... He added that John Ryan-style tank* without testing it ever and that was probably the cause of many of the vapor lock and fuel related problems. He realized that heat was making the issues worse so he would strap bags of ice to the tank. I think there were some electrical problems as well, but Roger did a bunch of farkling and I think we all know that when you start dicking around in there.... *John Ryan modified his FJR tank to the Devil's Tower design. I think it held 15 gallons. (he was only doing cert rides and not the IBR so that is allowed) That thing was so big that when I sat on the bike, I really couldn't see over the gas tank! I [B]could[/B] but not really to operate the bike in a safe manner. [/QUOTE]
