Exciting news — we are shipping the new "battery" version of our large capacity MH900e endurance racing tank.

The (pdf file) attached to this document is a supplement to accompany the existing instructions for installing the original version of the tank. The only additional parts required are a longer starter cable, M6 screw, and a spacer. There are no permanent alterations required for this REV-B "battery" tank to be installed and work. More info, too, on this older news article.

We are excited to be meeting with the new manufacturer for the endurance fuel tank projects. This first meeting is to cover the final details of the MH Battery Tank so that it can enter the production phase. Additionally, we will get more prototypes of the formerly stalled Mosnter racing tank project for review. We are looking forward to the results of our newest business relationship.

Cycleworks will have minimal staffing to cover shipping on Thursday, March 13th. 

We got in the first article of the MH tank and sorted out cable routing. This tank makes working with or on the battery a much more direct process compared to stock. Many will appreciate how this tank brings the appearance of the MH900e closer to the original prototype. Much more important is that this tank makes use of the current battery used in all other recent Ducatis: the Yuasa YT12B-BS. This battery is very robust and should make owning a MH900e an easier experience. There are no permanent modifications to the bike required, either! We do eliminate 2 large cables and the re-route most wires up there under and behind the steering stem.

Current status of the tank project: the first article is in and approved. We are working with the manufacturer to improve the area where the large fuel pump flange mounts.

Some great Christmas news: We have confirmation from the plant that the mold for the revised tank is finished and on its way to the production plant from the R&D shop. More updates as info unfolds. We’ll be getting a "sample" in shortly, which should not require much proofing other than the details of battery placement.

Were up all night working on the new revisions for the MH big tank with battery inset. So Tuesday will get a late start. Check the excellent MH900e Owner’s Club for sneak peek pics! Link: http://ducatiowners.com/discus/messages/279/2599.html

With this being a short week, we've been super busy fitting in a week's worth of work in 3 days. Friday is another trip to LA to see our vendors. More news later.

Apologies for the lack of updates recently. We've been at the grindstone getting caught up with demand these past few weeks.

We got some feedback from one of our customers:
Hi Chris,

Just wanted to let you know what you already know about the quality of your tank.

Today, Chris is going to the Los Angeles region to pickup more MH900e large fuel tanks and also further progress with the exhaust systems. Our ever effecient shipping lady will be getting orders out as always!
