wats the best out there to get, good value and also good ground clearance? :thumb
Why do you want/need one, Sam?
CB make one called a thinline which is similar capacity to the normal deep sumps but half the depth.
I just have the small sump with a finer gauze filter inside..
I think they help cool the oil....
as they are a heatsink with fins..
and if You have a large engine the larger ones are good..
CB Performance make some.....
I saw one was a low profile type even higher than My small sump....
You just have to remember that they are held on with those 8 small screws.... maybe 6 small screws ??
so if they hit anything.... they are history...
Now I'm scaring Myself ......
just don't use the nyloc nuts supplied as they leak...
oil comes down the thread.... original nuts...

Stan Pobjoy's anti-surge sump is the best because its Aussie made:thumb:thumb

Ive never actually seen a pobjoy sump thing, i thought they were more like a surge control/pickup extension, but didnt really add any oil capacity??
Pobjoy, Berg deep sump, Frank Kleinig, Empi ( http://www.800luvbugg.com/shop?frame=2.17.5716 ). Everyone says that Stan Pobjoy's one works best, but with less clearance than the others.

yeh i think anti surge is wat im after, but i want the best ground clearance possible, thanks for the help guys
my berg ones never hung any lower than the muffler or gearbox front mount. never bottomed them out.
wat speciific berg one have u got?
both street ones.
use the narrower ones for under 5500 rpm,(GB210)
use the wider street one for up to 8000rpm (GB210A)
difference in ground clearance between the two is not worth worrying about. width is different.

there was one on ebay, not sure if the auction has finished yet, it is the 210A

thanks mate
no probs, the main time to be warry of the sump is when rolling down off speed humps. as the back wheels roll off the hump, suspension bounce will see
the sumps bottom out,
as you no doubt know, the exhaust yells out when to stop when navigating driveways, slopes etc
One that dosent LEAK LOL
the Pobjoy sump is only about 1 7/8in tall. + whatever height your sump plate is.

thought i should mention that i didn't include the sump plate in the measurement. so add that on when checking clearance.
just sold my berg sump for $50
