Catch Tank (Cylinder Type) (Special / Dry Type)

About quality and texture - This catch tank from SP Takegawa is made from aluminium tube with neat TIG welds and billet aluminium, the part are finished with polished and anodized surface finishes, the quality from the overall fit and finish is perfect.About the feeling of use - Before installing this part I had an air box full of oil, the catch tank has resolved my engine oil loss caused from high RPM riding by capturing the oil vapour generated during this period of riding and re-directing it back to the crankcase via the larger 12mm barbed hose fitting.Products to buy together - A key product to purchase with any high performing RPM engine is an oil cooler, this will complement the catch tank's objective of reducing the engines internal pressure and intern reducing the engine operating temperature.Difficulty of installation - The installation of the catch tank is a simple task that took 1.0 hour to complete. Some slight mechanical aptitude and the use of basic hand tools is what is required to mount the catch tank to the available space under the fuel tank and trim and position the hoses as required.Cost performance and comparison with other products - I find the cost of all the products SP Takegawa sell to be on par when compared to what most other companies sell their products for and the catch tank is no different.About shipping and packaging - With there being only a slight cost difference between sea freight and EMS for the catch tank, I choose EMS for a earlier arrival date. The part was extremely well protected while being covered in bubble wrap and surrounded with air pillows in a sturdy cardboard box.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing - Webike Japan is the first place I look to for all my motorcycle needs. From service parts to performance products and even motorcycle gear and apparel, Webike always seem to satisfy my needs in regards to availability and pricing.

About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the catch tank from SP Takegawa. With an all aluminium catch tank and breather union this kit adds little weight to the motorcycle and looks impressive with it’s buffed finish.About the feeling of use: With an increase in engine performance comes and increase in engine pressure and heat, this catch tank does a great job minimising these effects on the engine performance.Products to buy together: A breather union to vent the head would also be desirable to purchase alongside the catch tank to utilise both inlet ports of the catch tank.Difficulty of installation: The process to install took me about 1 and a half hours, position the catch tank first so you can workout the lengths required to be cut for your hoses and secure them with the included hose clamps. Not difficult to do.Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting just about everything required from this kit with the best design as compared to the other kits that only offer one inlet port and no drain port.About shipping and packaging: Sea freight was my preferred method of shipping due to the lower cost but currently unavailable due to Japan Post. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: This kit is designed for a specific Honda Monkey model but can easily be installed on other model Honda minimotos with a little effort.
