Reply to "What rack is this?"

No, I didn't find it yet. I have several places to look still.

The Speedway oil neck leaks a little, or the cap leaks onto the neck. It's not designed well.

However, the Saldana tank doesn't leak, it has O-rings to seal the bolt-on top, threaded filler cap, and threaded drain cap. The fittings are AN12 welded right on. The Speedway tank required pipe thread adapters(with LONG tubes on the tank,  and bulky and longer fittings. Even though I need AN adapters, the overall look is cleaner and the tank physically fits nicer. It's just a better design. I'll use it on any future Spyder builds, too. It's the same price as the no-longer-available Speedway tank. Hmmmm, wonder why it's NLA?

Saldana

There aren't any 3/8" pipe thread fittings as it says in the description. There are four AN12 fittings, I adapt to AN10 on the bottom to feed the pressure stage and the two returns to AN8 up top. The top fitting is also adapted to AN8 for the breather.

There is a skinny O-ring just inside the bolt circle on top of the tank. First, I took the tank apart and cleaned it, there were a couple aluminum chips inside. When I put it back together I used Permatex thread sealant on the bolts. Very well made stuff.
