Trying to weigh up whether it worth my while selling my spare tank, side and tail unit to fund my forks going to maxton.
Tank was totally solid with just a little surface rust from storage so to protect it I gave it the Por 15 3 part treatment. Definitely not rotten or leaking, just wanted it to last forever and not deteriorate. It was painted by a local car painter ( not 2k) in the base white all colours are mixed from so any shop can match it and fitted with lc2 red/blue decals from the image works then clear coated. only on bike for 50 miles as I fancied a colour change.
Side panels and tail unit are matching and decals clear coated, crack free ( may have the odd professional repair, still wrapped up in loft ) and have never been fitted to the bike as I had another set on that were not clear coated and I bust the side panel decals with my boots so got another set painted.
Not used as I decided to go with speed blocks and I already have a rust free spare tank.
This is the tank on the bike
Value?
