I finally got the 2.8gal "Tour Tank" mounted and plumbed in to my 2014 C650GT. I had the tank setup on my old Honda Silver Wing 600.
On that bike I ran the hose along the L side below the seat on the outside and then modified the fuel cap to add a swivel bulkhead fitting.
This mod was a little different as the fuel cap mod would not be possible, also I had to slightly modify the tank mounting plate to fit on the Givi top case mount bracket.
After finding the main tank vent, which is located in front of the sending unit and pump, I purchased a 1/4" brass tee, a .5 psi 1/4" check valve, a lighted rd panel mt switch, and a 1/4" npt 12v solenoid fuel valve.
After mounting the switch to the panel just below the handlebar lower cover and connecting it to the fuse block I had already mounted under the L front side cover, I rand the load wire under the plastic covering the tunnel and up to the area just under the seat along side the fuel pump and drilled a small 1/8" hole to bring it into the storage area.
I disconnected the 1/4" hose from the fuel vent and added a short piece of 1/4" fueline to the tee and then to the check valve and reconnected the vent tube to the check valve.
I then connected the 1/4" fuel line to the tee and drilled a 1" hole in the panel between the fuel pump area and the storage area.
I put a 1/4x1/4" npt hose barb on the output side of the solenoid valve, and a 5/16x1/4" npt hose barb on the input side of the valve.
I connected the wires on the valve to the one from the switch and to the seat latch mount for a ground, and after connecting the fuel lines to the valve I zip tied it to the frame rail on the L side storage area.
I drilled another hole on the back L side just inside the hand grips to run the 5/16" fuel line to connect to the tank.
Using the fuel line QD I had from my previous set up, I can disconnect from the aux tank without spilling a drop of fuel.
I plan on sealing up around the hole in the back with black RTV after I'm sure the set up works.
