I got a 5 liter tank to fit inside the front fender well, it's dead space and hidden very well. It's tight getting the liner back in place and a remote drain valve is a must, but it is completely out of the way. Another way to get more air supply in little spaces is to lenghten your air lines as much as possible.

Mike, I like your set up. Did you buy it as a package somewhere? Or piecemeal it?

Bought the package from Siege Engineering on Ebay about 2 years ago. Tank, compressor, 1/2" air valve, relay, wiring, guage, tubing and
185 psi switch. The system is wired into the factory horn. Turned the chirp on lock/unlock off for obvious reasons. The system is LOUDER than sh*t! It scares the bjesus outta people!
Post some pics when you get the system in...and thanks for the compliment!
Cheers
Mike
