Gas Tank overflow

I found out today that if you fill these tanks up to almost full, past the baffle, while on the kick stand, and only drive 3/4's of a mile, the gas tank overflow line works very well at dispersing the extra fuel on the pavement below the bike!

Yep, I fill right to the bottom of baffle, or just a touch past.....if you fill it anymore, it teases those Gremlins, even if you have a Gremlin bell mounted....
