Aha! Thanks!
I was trying to figure out where that could possibly go, but it sounds like I can basically bolt it on anywhere it doesn't interfere with something else.

At 2,500 miles, the belt on the CVT in my Roketa 150 decided that it had had enough. Every other time I've done anything to the bike, I took pictures every step of the way, so of course as soon as I start screwing with something mechanical, I skip that step. I don't know why. Anyway, I took the CVT case off sometime early last month and, uh, I have no idea what this thing is. You can see me holding it in the picture, and it looks kind of like a fuel line, but I'm not sure why that would connect to the transmission, or what the screw on the end is for. Is that the screw that the caution label is talking about? Basically, where do I put this hose? Attachments:

Fuel Tank

At this point, I'm not even concerned about having the secondary fuel tank connected to the rest of the system. So long as it's on the bike and there when I inevitably don't have as much gas in the tank as I thought I did, that's what matters.
You can add NOS to a scooter? That seems kind of, I don't know... like pulling the pin, so to speak? Hope you got your armored shorts on, you know? (Yes, I know the FZR1000's a sport bike, not a scooter. Or I do now, anyway.)

Fuel Tank

I've looked around on the forums pretty extensively, but I haven't seen anybody doing any modifications with fuel tanks, such as using one with a reserve switch, or a larger tank. The 1-and-some-change gallon tank on my MC-75-150 is pretty decent, but I haven't found a good place to stash an extra pint or two of fuel, and I'd really like to. Anybody have any good suggestions on this front?
So far, the only thing I've tried was to stuff a small gas can in the trunk pod, but that earned me nothing but a trunk full of gas as leaning the bike to turn caused the can to lean... yeah. Plus, it took up the whole trunk.
I was thinking that there's a good deal of empty space in the fairing in front of the center stand, and a suitably sturdy tank there might work.
The other thing that I've been contemplating is whether there are any interesting widgets to put on in place of the horn that I never use but have a button for right under my finger. Unfortunately, a garage door opener and a can of silly string are the only things that come to mind.
