The new Beast!

The Beast is ready for action and it has already been employed!

After loosing around almost 20 kg the Beast is completely changed.

Before it had a 24 liters front tank with two quantity sensors (orange 8.4 liters, red 4.2 liter).
Keep in mind that, with the original tank, the last 8 liters are underneath the carburators, so the fuel pump is only necessary to pump these liter into the carburators (gravity works otherwise).

Now when the orange fuel sensor light up, the beast is still carrying more than 20 liters of fuel. This is a huge improvement as 20 kg of fuel are underneath the carburattors, which change drastically the center of mass of the Beast. I still have to figure out the best way to use the new tanks as they have a three positions a tap each (Off, On and reserve). Right now the reserve is around 0.6 liters each, which is very low.  I will most likely increase this and have around 3-4 liters of "last hope" before startint pushing.

Right now I have the original side stand orange light as quantity sensor. I will add a huge red one for the last ~8 liters.


Next step is changing the front rim (spokes are on their way) and to start the big maintenance and set up of the bike for the trip, I'll rebuild the clutch, many bearings, etc, etc.

The future is bright!
