    External fuel pump install, hard??

    Getting an aftermarket tank for my track bike. I was told that I would need to install an external fuel pump because the aftermarket tank does not have a flange. Is this a tough install? Is this something worth considering?

    Are we talking a carb or EFI setup? Carb is easy to setup with an electric or vacuum operated unit externally, EFI is a different game completely.

    A banged up OEM tank is so much cheaper. I ended up not buying the fiberglass tank. They wanted $600.

    A $600 tank with no provision for a fuel pump? Stay far away from something like that.
