peterb Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 You can fit the Hebo 1L fuel tank on the headstock to a Vertigo with a few mods. You will probably need to re-locate the map switch and LED to somewhere else to fit the tank. Block the Vertigo fuel cap breather and make a new tank top breather bush from a short 12mm M8 hex head bolt, turned flat on top, centre drill then drill out to 4.20mm and thread M5 through the bolt centre. Get a GG or Ossa gearbox elbow and thread the end of this M5 and screw into the M8 "bush" with PTFE tape. There is a handy spot to drill and thread the top of the Vertigo fuel tank to take the M8 bush, we have a drawing somewhere to show this but you should be able to find a good spot. Run a decent petrol proof breather hose from the new vent to the Hebo tank outlet. The Hebo tank has a breather itself. When you are not using the Hebo tank, fit a ball check valve to the breather hose end to allow air to enter the tank. A very good friend worked this out initially.

sprinter 27 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Just have an elbow installed in the fuel cap , retro fitted the map switch and leds into the bar pad . Fairly simple in all . My only disappointment in Vertigo is the fuel economy , with the small tank and injection it’s always the first bike to run out of fuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smegyboy Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hi all , since last set up have had a new and improved version more secure and safe , Reece Talbot is the man responsible for 3D printing an insert ,which fits into the inside of petrol cap which the extra 8mm fuel pipe goes through a filed out 7mm hole on cap to the inside, then pushed through the insert and the insert is then pushed into the inside of of the cap . Make sense lol ?? pics to follow with pipe attached pics shown are Reece’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNIZZLE Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Just bought a 2022 vertigo 300 and would like to install an aux tank. I like this 3d printed piece you guys came up with. How do I get the file so I can print one out? Or would someone here print one for me?
