It's my new radiator surge tank, the OEM one is in the way of my new (soon) engine air intake. The thing on the side is the float level switch. Are you better now?

In this first pic, you can see what i mean about the black paint, the tank is completely invisible installed.

The second pic shows the reason the OEM tanks was in the way, I needed space for the air filter. I had it coming straight off of the blower, and I moved the battery and surge tank. Jammed back in that corner, it was picking up very hot air. That is the reason I relocated it. I am hoping that it gets cooler air from in front of the fender and around the headlight. If not, I will have to think of something to block the hot air from the radiator from reaching the filter.

, that's OK. That is why I painted it black. It will be invisible when it is installed.
