[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1361400, member: 434"] Yes, exactly! I also have a spare rear wheel of this vintage. I already loaned the spare '08+ rear I have to Justin. Also, it might be a bit tight schedule-wise, but if any FJR rider doesn't have a fuel cell and wants one....it [I]may[/I] be possible to have one made in time. I'm working with Ernie A. right now to dial-in his Tanji-style cells (Phil had one several years ago I think he worked through) and think we're several weeks away from mine being "done" for my '14. He does have extra parts to make more. I'm working hard to try and keep it gravity-feed (I'm trying to size all the fuel line components at 3/8" instead of the more common 1/4" and 5/16" fittings), we've been working on a front bracket that's adjustable, bulkhead fitting, sizing to ensure it is in the legal to the 11.5 limit, and even working in a cool little welded-on sump feature. I'll be doing a spotlight on the forum including detailed pictures when we get mine back from anodizing, dialed in, and he thinks he's ready for production. ...I'm sure they won't be cheap, but they're going to be quality...like the original Tanji ones! If you're interested--let me know via PM. [/QUOTE]
