40-0493 - Replica Black TT Bobber Short Oil Tank

Replica black TT Bobber rigid frame oil tank is 1-5/16 shorter to accommodate a raised position for chain alignment.
qurpose of this tank is to raise the transmission and clutch pak for TT racing or hillclimbing for greater ground clearance. Battery compartment is shorter in this tank so a smaller battery will be required. Chain guard will be in a raised position so modifications must be made to the front mounting tab as most TT bikes did not use a chain guard in the early racing era. Oil tank front mount must be removed and rewelded in place 1.25 upward. To raise the transmission mount plate use (5) 1-5/16 spacers and mount as stock. This will require (2) 3/8 -24 UNF x 3 bolts and (2) 3/8 -24 UNF x 2-1/2 bolts for the transmission plate on the 5th mount hole use (1) 3/8 -16 UNC x 2 bolt. The raising of the transmission with the use of the shorter TT oil tank also gives the advantage of the transmission and rear sprockets of being more inline for better power transmission thru the drivetrain.
