    We just got these in. Bigger Nomad tanks that fit the 2012-2013 models. Let me know if you are interested. I have been using the smaller one on my 2011 TE511 with zero issues for over a year. Gives me 100+ mile range which I love for my DS rides. Thanks.

    Mine works great, no issues. That 4.5 L would be nice. Although harder to swing the leg over on a long day !
    The disc armor does a good job too. :)

    That is a nice looking tank, and the added volume is a plus in my book.
    Are they on the site yet?
    I will put one on my short list to buy soon.
    Thanks,

    What is on your header? Looks like a ton of hose clamps. :confused:

    Nice. Bike looks ready for action. thank you.

    BTW it looks like you have a petcock on the vent??? should be on the fuel line and on all the time unless removing or something.

    It's the parallax view. I used clear hose so I can see the fuel. IMG_0651.JPG

    The hose clamps are to keep the bushes from trashing the exhaust wrap, again. I have a carbon fiber pipe guard on order but it doesn't look like I am ever going to get it.

    This is what I use to keep from trashing my wrap, $20.

    Thanks, Fathers Day is just around the corner...

    From the pictures the 4.5 looks like a great size and fit, do you think the 4.5 is too big on the rear fender approx 22-24 lbs when full?

    4.5 liters of gas weighs 7.32 pounds and the tank it self is about 2 pounds. Your under 10 pounds. i ahve had zero issues hammering mine through endless whoops etc. The 449/511 subframes are very nice and strong.

    OK Thanks 4.5 liters is about 2.2 gallons I think. I thought it would weigh more. Now I need to find a new place for my enduro bag.
    EDIT my math is sucking today. looks like 1.1 gallons! Man I thought that Nomad looked compact for a 2 gallon container.:o

    Hooks into one of your vent lines and then vents through the Nomad. Works great, drains the Nomad first.
