Anyone worked out an easy way to be able to fill the tank to the brim (gen ii) and get around the collar in the fuel tank.
I know it's there to allow expansion as the fuel heats from the engine, but if you're on a long tour it won't matter as you're instantly draining it again straight after filling.
I don't want to drill a 'breather' hole as swarf will get in the tank, but wondered if anyone had removed it or found a way to fill fully.
Must be a good few miles worth in that top bit and with a 140 mile range would be good to get a bit more out of it?
