There have been quite a few guys cut that brace out and just leave it out. Chemical candys (rocker box 66)bike being one. I plan on dicing mine out this winter went I pump the motor up again. Hoping there is room for the turbo there.
Whole thread on sticking a sporty fuel pump in a custom tank. Don't know if it will be narrow enough for that tunnel though. My need a custom pick up tube.

Lundee if you jam a turbo in there that's going to be insane. I'm keen to see that
Yeah I've done quiet a few tanks now with the sporty pumps, the last tank on mine was with the sporty pumps. As I was saying before there's just enough room to fit it, but what I can't find is anyone who's frisco mounted a tank with a sporty pump and modified the pumps pickup to pickup from the rear of the tank. Will chop this $400 pump and find out if I can lol. Already chop the $400 tank up so I guess i will give it a go

Yeah I did look into external, I guess if all else fails, I might look into it more. Thanks Lundee! Good to see you're still around too man!
Well here's some progress on resizing the tank

Looks damn good. I did a tank close to that a few years ago, still sitting on my shelf, been to lazy to finish it. How far you actually ride that thing? I'd guess even without moving the pickup tube, you'd only be out 1/2 a gallon
Cheers Lundee. Yeah they're a nice shape. I hope it turns out as on the bike as I've thought up in my head.
The city I live in isn't very big, around 200,000 population. So around town it'll be enough as I been using it with that 2.5g tank before as a daily commute. Riding north of here is the only worthy ride around this part of Australia, and there's a town every 100km or less (60 mile). I figure I'll strap a couple little emergency tanks to the front downtubes as well when I ride north on the odd occasion.
The pickup on the efi is actually at the front, on the same angle as the back bone, I would think Around 0.5 a gallon or a bit more until it would pick it up, but I believe it'd be more closer to a gallon at least where it'd become useless as it'll start starving around that point when I accelerate too hard, that's probably more to the point why I would want to get the pickup down the back
