The last one did not do as well as previously
I know he says the pattern ones ain't the same but there is very little actual difference
Strange stating that when the gold lettering is the same thing really
£500 buys and paints a pattern one 🤔

He says the gold was perhaps Aussie... it wasnt. JDM is the only place I can see that working and Xavier would be the guy to confirm it.

I have never seen these YAMAHA gold letter on any OEM markets worldwide, and I have seen a couple of them in OES, but don't know if it's a NOS or NNS... The part number would help. Even on the following new kits made by YAMAHA Ys Gear for JAPAN, letters are not gold. Those gold letters are a mystery for me !!!  Xavier |

I have seen a NOS one with gold lettering in someone's NOS stash. It was still in the box, so may have a part number still on it...

Unless your absolutely anal about the bike, and it has to be Gen, I wouldn't even consider this, repo tank all day long
The market for Gen tanks has contracted due to an alternative source becoming available, at a realistic price .

To me it looks like the decals are airbrushed on - the surface looks too smooth. I always thought that on the original stuff it was decals on paint and then cleared over the lot, leaving ridges and bumps where the deacls are. I may wrong though.

Listing ended with no bids on it?
There’s a surprise.
I get the fact it’s NOS, but who would want the gold lettering if you were that particular about a resto? Surely they’d have to pay paint on top of that, and that defeats the object?

Its about the right price for a NOS gen yam tank £700 If it's exactly what you want colour wise, and you HAVE to have a genuine, then maybe ......otherwise its worth nothing near that. |

I agree, at the end of the day it's a basic petrol tank FFS, realistically it's not actually worth hundreds is it. |

Can you imagine how hard it would be to track down the rest of the bodywork to match?
That’s even if it ever existed?
I have an RD tail piece in white three stripe. I know its OEM (bought before replacements were available) but don’t know if it’s NOS or just exceptional condition.
I quite like the idea of doing my latest LC hybrid in this colour scheme. Trouble is do I use it as is or try and match it. My thinking is it will never be 100% match and I’d prefer lacquered over on the rest, so I may never use it? Shame this tank seems in the same league?
