Tank extension

RODOLFO · Oct 13, 2021

Question for the track guys

what does a tank extension do?

Help you from going forward during hard braking?

or hold you more to the rear help? I normally do the opposite, and try to be more forward for better turning.

or are They just for taller riders?

hope someone Can clear this doubt

Keeps you from sliding too far forward on deceleration, so it takes weight off of your arms, wrists and elbows during breaking and turn in. This gives you a lighter grip on the bars, enabling better dexterity and finesse going into and through the turn.

…..makes you less bunched up while turning

Helps me a lot with hanging off, gives my outside leg much more surface to grip onto.

Ditto to what Burton said.

that is a very bad plan for turning in. You want to be rearward in the seat and we’ll balanced. If you’re skipping the back in you want to be forward but that’s an exception more than likely.

looking into the ducati performance tank support

Crazy expensive for what it is. Afixmoto makes tank extensions of assorted versions. There's also an aftermarket seat that has a built in extension. Mine is the one from Afix that increases height and extends out.
