Since the last thread went real bad I thought I should explain this new product. PRM made us this tank because we asked Dan if he could make us someway to store gas for prerunning really long sections down in Baja. When we are prerunning down there we often have to cover over 100 miles with only the fuel that we can carry. And for me that meant that I would shove two one gallon containers in a backpack and ride through Baja.
So, as far as catching fire. If you screw up and spill gas all over the pipe wile you are trying to fill up that tank, you probably deserve it. The fill neck for the tank is on the opposite side of the quad. I have seen several guys catch there bike/quad on fire from overfilling there stock tanks and letting it run all over there motors and header pipes.
This new product from PRM is all rubber mounted so cracking should not be a problem. Are last grab bars/tool trays had some cracks in them after about 2 or 3 thousand miles on them. So on this new product PRM has rubber mounted it. The normal tool tray comes bolted together as two sprat pieces so were it is bolted it can flex and not crack. PRM has also rubber mounted there bumpers for the 700xx to fix the cracking on them as well.
I hope that we can keep this a positive thread.
