[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 113326, member: 3426"] Doesn’t really come in contact. The seating position and width of the fuel tank more less keeps the leg away, although I haven’t sat on the thing with everything completely assembled in its final form. Not expecting it to be any worse than a Pre OIF Triumph or BSA etc. Also... given the Comet ( in it’s current state) barely generates enough HP to pull the skin off a rice pudding, I wonder if it will generate enough heat to get the alloy tank to the uncomfortable level. In that photo, the oil tank isn’t mounted, just sitting in there. When bolted in, the top of the tank slants inward slightly. Combine that with my inability to ride for any great length of time in one go, I “should” be ok? [/QUOTE]
