I was surprised that it didn't go up in flames. Also consider a roll bar. There is no structure above the bed frame.

I agree, that sucks and yes....there has been a steel tube welded behind the tank and the tank is now a race fuel cell (lined)...I'm not worried about the performance as the lump was rebuilt by a race outfit for street use and I've seen the dyno readouts and money put into that 6.
156 RWHP (stock is 106 at the crank) and a sweet flat torque line...
All of the normal Brit stupidity seems to have been dealt with.
There is presently no roll bar....
