T7 Camel Tank $389

[Camel ADV]

I haven't been posting much as I've been busy in the shop with a few new projects. I've gotten countless emails about a T7 Camel Tank, I've been giving non-answers in response. The R&D cycle is LONG for tanks, if I can get one done and to market in 9-10months, I'm doing well. We've been testing the new tank for a month or so and I'm quite happy with the results.

 

It's got all the usual features our tanks do: ultra durable 4mm XLPE, brass inserts (including the filler neck), stainless brackets, tethered billet aluminum fuel cap etc. It's 5L (1.3 gal). It was 8.5L to start but it wasn't going to work with any pannier racks and it was starting to look like a boot. It's a bit strange, as I look at the photos I just took, the tank looks bigger than it is and looks a bit boot-ish too... it looks far more integrated in person.

 

 This version is compatible with the OEM Yamaha pannier racks. It's not going to be compatible with all of the pannier systems unfortunately. We've chased that goal with previous tanks and it's maddening. We'll have a list of what hits and what fits as that info becomes available.

 

No firm ETA just yet. Pricing will be in line with our other Camel Tanks.

Looks like the Mosko Rackless systems should work with this.

Personally, I think the follow button should be bigger or brighter than it currently is. Took me longer than I care to admit to find it.

Cory... TAKE MY MONEY!!! is there a waiting list yet for purchase?

[Disco]

Hi Cory,

Looks great. One quick question, How would a tank at the rear be connected to the main tank?

 

cheers, Disco

If you go to his website he has a few installation videos of other bikes. Should give you a good idea.

Yep thats partly the reason its taken me a while as getting less capacity would have been easy or if I had just ignored the handling issues caused by replacing the original with a huge main tank. Both I discounted through testing along the way.

Nothing is sacrificed, in actual fact it adds a number of additional benefits as well as the increased fuel capacity and all "farkles" are still compatible as none of the external dimensions change. So you can use all racks, protection etc etc. As such you cant tell easily  just by looking that its even fitted.

hey I notice you have those stegpegz! that's awesome I've been looking at some also any information on what kind to choose that will work with our bikes?

We're 95% set-up in the new shop and finally working on projects again. The Camel Tank is VERY close!

This solution looks excellent. I had a very similar set up on my X-Challenge. It worked really well. Looking forward to the final product. 

[Limey]

Hope this works with soft bags and no need for racks to protect the tank from a crash.

Just a bunch of random shots with the Mosko Moto Reckless 10 installed.

It appears that the ADV Spec racks will work if we add 10mm spacers between the upper and lower sections (6mm spacers shown in the pics).

This tank is an interesting idea, 
How does it integrate with the bike?  
Is it a completely fill it and forget it setup?  or does something else need to be done while riding?   Is there a fuel pump inside the tank? 

How easy is it to remove?   (is it something you could throw on for a long voyage, then take off for every day riding? ) 
and how much does it weigh?

Asking for a very close friend:  wondering if the tank will work with B&B compact rear rack and Rally Raid side racks.

[simonr]

on-topic noob question: does adding 5L of fuel on the left side impact the balance of a bike?

off-topic: what are the handguards and mirrors on the white Camel ADV bike?

[Treps]

This solution looks great. Is it still 5 litres ? The photos makes it look bigger.

Is this compatible with the OEM luggage rack? 

Any further advance on timing?

@simonr. Handguards/mirrors are from Highway dirtbikes.

We've all heard it, some guy says they've tried them all and this handguard or that handguard is the best. We won't bore you with "we're the best", just compare theirs side by side with our HDB Ultimate Handguards�. Our Ultimate Handguards� are a great...

It plumbs into the main tank's vent port. As the level in the main tank drops, vacuum is created pulling fuel from the Camel Tank. It theory, the Camel Tank empties first... there's a bit of back and forth going on though so there's some catch-up that happens. I'll be doing an explanation video to go along with it. We've got one on our YouTube from years ago. I need to redo it so it's more current, in HD and with better audio but you'll get the point.

I can't say for sure as I don't have them here in front of me but based on photos alone, there's a very good chance the Rally Raid side racks will fit. I'm guessing the B&B tail rack will not be compatible.

The easiest way to answer that is to ask whether you ever notice your bike is currently lopsided due to the 15-20lb exhaust only on the right side?

The fuel tank is a few pounds and 5 liters of 8.19lbs. If anything, you're evening out the weight side to side and make it more balanced. Another thing to consider is that the tank is only a few inches from the bikes center line. The exhaust is much farther out so it has even more effect on balance. How many people weight their panniers to ensure they are balanced? How many people then take into account that the exhaust side pannier rack is almost always farther out than the other side AND consider the exhaust weight too then and pack accordingly?

Compatible with the OEM luggage.

Really nice work.

 

Will the tank work with the passenger Foot Pegs?

 

Best regards
