The OEM fuel pump works good, but you will have to build your cell around it. Also the XP1000 feul pump has the regulator built in, so if you want to do something beyond that you will have to modify the fuel rail and the pump.

Alright thank you for the advice I'll go ahead a go with the factory pump sounds like that's wat everyone is using.

Someone ( Johnny maybe ? ) used to make a plate that would fit the stock pump setup into a fuel cell.
It basically just bolted into the top of the cell in the oval shaped hole etc...

This was for the 1st 800's. I tried to find one for my 2011 800 and nobody had one...

The new 1000's are popular enough that somebody ( maybe Johnny again...lol) would start making them again.

I'm going to machine one out I extended the back part of the chassis to mount a fuel cell and spare tire. I needed to get the tank out of underneath the seat so I can lower it about 3"

Thanks for the advice though I'll keep lonestar in mind

You want to keep the cell under the seats if at all possible. The weight moved back and up creates bad handling characteristics. Hence the reason Jagged-X, LSR, Coastal, and all the other 2 seat race teams leave the cell under the seats. We have a plate for a Harmon Cell.

OK thanks good to know I'll start over on the templates and go under the seat lol

Do you think its worth the trouble lowering the seat?

Trust me... having the cell in back SUCKS!!! we have been fighting the suspension trying to get it right and its just to much of a weight swing over the back from empty to full. 16 gallons gets pretty heavy...
