So this V65 shows up for service...

Whats it ride like?

Looks like the tank was just modified to fit. It's been "clearanced" in the tunnel (area indented with a hammer?) and the "C" shaped mounts welded on. <shrug>

Brake switch: how about a Goodridge banjo switch on the master cylinder or caliper?

Oh yes, the tank has been clearance, I cannot tell about the "C" pockets or not.  Again this tank has no front Hooks up front either... odd one. 


Thanks for the tip on the banjo sending unit.  I also did not know or at least did not realize/think of using one at the caliper...  very cool.  That will solve the problem of piping it into the master where there is no room.  Appreciate that.

Best,
Rob

No idea, the owner rode it in and I have had it on the lift for a couple of days.

I'll report back later....

The front "hooks" are welded to the tank, not an integral part of it, so it would be quite easy to grind the weld down and remove them.

Splains that.

Hmmm, I'll take a closer look, the pockets look pretty well done but the could have been added by a good fabricator.

I saw a generic steel tank from India on eBay that came with a pair of mounting pockets as an accessory that could be custom welded.
