I wanted to post a few pics of the FuelCel tank guards I installed this past weekend. After a quick email to John at Fuelcel, the guards arrived after about 3 days unpainted and I shipped them out to MCProdesign for custom paint to match my tank and fairings. I also got the fuel baffling that installs inside the tank and aids in killing all the fuel slosh that occurs during abrupt braking and throttle and left-right transition that occurs on track. I have noticed a huge difference on track with these foam baffles installed. The chassis is more settled upon braking and entry.
These guards are a must for anyone who rides on the track. I installed the FuelCel tank guards and modified the side tank panels so the side tank bolts underneath are easily accessable at the track. The install went really well with the exception that 2 of the bolts provided in the kit were too short for mounting at the base of the tank. A quick trip to Home Depot and I had the right hardware for the guards. I'm honestly hoping the kevlar guards never get tested!!! I've heard (from those that have lowsided with the guards on) that the kevlar protected the tank from rupture and explosion.
The guards were 180 and the baffling was 38 bucks. Check out Fuelcel's website for more pics and information.
