Took the plunge a while ago when the proalloy replacement 916 alloy header tank was announced. It took a while for it to be made as they wanted enough orders to make production worthwhile. It’s just arrived & looks lovely , too nice to hide under the tank ? Anyways hope to fit this weekend as last time I rode my 916 it was doing an impression of a steam kettle from the original header tank
@Macca Very nice! I am surprised you had this issue on a 916 though. I thought this was a 996 problem only. I rode my previous 916 to 40.000 miles with its original expansion plastic tank. I once road tested the 996 of a friend and ended up lightly sprayed with coolant in front. He told that was kinda usual. Plastic seam was poor quality… Quite interested to get your feedback (mounting, hot weather rides, etc.) for my 996 friends out there.
I went through 2 tanks on my 916. I got the original proalloy tank and it's a lovely bit of kit, I'm glad they managed to get enough interest to do a run and make there work worthwhile
