No worries. I seriously did appreciate the input, because I have never looked at it as a custom exhaust, so that actually gave me a different thought direction. So here are my thoughts so far:
Start with tank issue under the midsection first.
- I can move resonator forward, see if I can get a custom tank to fit in that area that facilitates a new exhaust to free up the rear. Questions I have are what effect moving resonator will have, and if I can find a muffler that will fit and give me close to stock noise. Additional dumb question would be if I could use a combination of mufflers to achieve a result (thinking glasspack, plus smaller muffler on back side of axle) or would that create too much back pressure?
- second option I have found is

I sent emails to the company and US distributor. US guy is on a trip apparently, but the flyer the company sent me looks like it will hold 15 gallons, costs around $1150 (base price, not shipped) and does not look like it requires any changes to the exhaust (I can send the flyer if anyone wants it, just PM your email address). Hopefully US distributer can give me more info when he gets back.
- For the rear tank I am leaning towards

For right now I am leaning towards doing this in stages, probably solve middle first, then rear. But I am going to sit down with my father in law as he works on custom cars to see if he has some ideas.
Again open to any ideas on my random thoughts.
