I think you are right GHG the nubs are for venting. I am cleaning the tank and see, there is definitely an internal line going from the nipple to the fuel hose pickup. I feel like my kids why, why, why?

Why go through all that trouble?

Why isn't the stock "Triumph" (vented) cap on the tank

Why are there no decals on the tank?

I have a wild theory. I think this is the bike that went through the initial CARB testing.

You are correct! Tim told me this was the original CARB/EPA test mule. The charcoal canister isn't standard either.

Interesting and pretty cool Dan. I'm still wondering why the vent tube in the filler neck , AND those two threaded pubs on the tank ? Maybe they hooked up some kind of vapor collector at those two spots ? Just guessing here...

It feels good to be right once every year or so I always tell my wife to mark it on the calendar when it happens. So we can go back and reminisce about that time I was right in 2017.
