Fibreglass tanks can be a bit tricky, as it is very difficult to judge the condition of the fibreglass from photos. If I were you I would request very clear and detailed photos or maybe look for a steel or aluminium tank.

It's just, this tank is comp. style, black, right state of patina, though the price seems to climb a bit now.

Sammy Miller has the same tank for £135 new.

What are you going to do with the tank Lasse, if you are selling your bikes?

Lassenc · Post by **Lassenc** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 11:27 am

I might as well improve it and make it easier to sell, not loosing money on it

Maybe I'll improve it so much that I keep it.

Found the link btw. out of stock, wrote them a mail

Being a cynical old sod, and having seen it all before, you will never get your money back on what you pay for the tank.

Lassenc · Post by **Lassenc** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 11:35 am

But it might be easier to sell.

Remember the tank I have now has a huge dent and chipped paint.

This will be cheaper than a respray!Edited by - Lassenc on 28 Mar 2008 11:37:34 AM

Hi lassenc,
before you buy it, check with Jim at JSL. Last time I was there he was negotiating the manufacture of new ones at an advantageous price!
Could be a safer move and even more attractive to prospective bike buyers.
