I got myself another tank and when fitting i noticed two differences from my -98 stuff....

First there where TWO breather connections on the bottom of tank where the -98 has one...
On the fueltap there where no clip-on so one actually has to take off the rubber hose when lifting tank...bugger...

So, what do you have and wich model? ....Just curious on what year i got here...

Need to see a pic of this - never seen 2 vents on the tank base.

I have a pile of those hose clips if you need one. All model years have them as stock.

Don't know about the breathers, but the fuel hose on mine stops the tank from being lifted.

IIRC there are 3 hoses that connect to the tank

fuel and vacuum tp the petcock and a breather that attached to the tank itself

"He said petcock, he he heh he"....no seriously....

In the "new" tank there where two "taps" whereas i only had one on my tank.
I´m starting to think that one is a breather and one is an overfiller!?
Either way i added a rubber hose down to the ground....

Here´s the piccie:

Hi killer!

Not that I can much identify on your picture - but on my tank (96 model) there are two breather hoses as you describe (and yes, they must be on a similar position as on your pic).

Breathing greetings from Munich!

My '97 only has one - UK spec.

And my -98 tank has one so i guess 95/96 has two and no quick release on the cock....
