This may sound a bit silly, but how are you lot finding filling the tank.
I've not managed to do many miles on my bike due to being incapacitated shortly after getting the Bobber and couldn't ride for the whole summer. The weather turning crap shortly after meant that I've not had it on the road much since either. Therefore, I've not had that many visits to the petrol station.
I can't quite remember the first fill up, but the second one I managed to fill it up to the brim and then it all pissed out of the top and down the bike. The third time I was extremely careful and trickled the fuel in. And er... that's as many times as I've filled it up. I've not even done enough miles to get to it's first service. :crying:
So what's the best way to fill it up? Do you shove it in up to the hilt and let the fuel gush out? Do you hover in the hole and carefully monitor the flow? The hole arrangememt in the tank doesn't seem to allow the auto cut-off to function. On my street triple there's some sort of cage in the hole that I can hold the nozzle against and it cuts off fine but not the Bobber.
