krazed0451 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hi Guys, In an effort to avoid paying the ridiculous money Beta want for their LRK I have come up with a solution that I will hopefully have completed in the next week or so. I have gone with a TTR110 tank/seat combo as I could buy them for <$100AUD and the opening on the underside of the tank is the widest from what I could find in the size I wanted. The seat tabs will mount at the rear of the sub frame with a little bending and the tank lines up beautifully at the front so that all I will need is an angled bracket mounted to the existing tabs for the front plastics. I will build a bracket for the underside of the seat to provide centre support and there are mounts on the rear of the tank that I will use to firmly affix it to the seat. It should be a very simply matter to mount/remove. The front of the tank will be opened up slightly with the use of a heat gun to allow it to sit lower. I'll need a length of fuel hose and a T piece to connect the secondary tank, but total cost should remain ~$100 + an hour or two of tinkering. Unfortunately, my housemate of 5 years just moved out, so I will need to buy some tools that are needed before I can get stuck in. Thoughts, critiques and general comments are appreciated! Cheers, Jimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgrumps Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 You're right on the Beta lrt being overpriced. I have one and the design is not the greatest. The front Oring strap constantly breaks. Most people use a Velcro strap around the front. The seat cushion is just foam, no cover. The plastic fuel switch strips after a few times turning it. The only difference I see is the price $500 vs $100. Nice! Old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazed0451 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hi mountain man, I'll have an update soon hopefully, I've been a little busy the last week or so... This week is looking better although I'll be picking up a bike for my mate tomorrow that will need a good going over. I'm also a little sore from a 75kph faceplant on my 300RR yesterday It's definitely coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain man Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Ouch,I hope you are OK! Looking forward to your pics! Do you have a top view to see how wide the tank and seat are on the Evo? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketgurl Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 This post looks interesting. Unfortunately, I can't see the photos. I may be interested in one of these set ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
