andy m Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Not sure but the fuel filler on your tank is same as the French replica tanks, where the UK bikes were the other side I think. Pitleys is other side for sure (alloy tank) The fibreglass tanks are smaller as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Fibreglass tanks are repro copies of the original type alloy mini-majesty tanks which were smaller than the 250 tanks. The original 250 tanks can have the filler cap on either side, no idea why. The person that made them for Shirty lives a stone's throw from me so I'll remember to ask him one day. Maybe he fitted the top part upside down on some of them reversing the side the filler is on.... The alloy tanks for sale on the French site are new repro alloy tanks, presumably to go with the repro frames that Magical had made. Not sure if they are full size or mini tanks. The mini tanks look much neater on the 250 bikes and give it a slimmer look than the original. Only problem is the amount of fuel they hold for road trials, particularly on the 320, you need your petrol stops planned as they are a bit thirsty. I've seen a few chrome framed Majesties around, had one once. Looks nice when it's new but doesn't wear well and if you have to have any welding repairs done if anything breaks it makes a mess of it. Had an Ossa frame chromed once and really wished I hadn't bothered afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never even noticed that before, mine is definately the original tank, maybe its because its a late model?? frame number: 82 09146 We need a Majesty expert....lol Scrumpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchie Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Do We not think that things are getting a little out of hand for the price of a new petrol tank I have recently bought a complete running 200 fantic for my son. Where is it all going to end....... To own or restore a Majesty is it a case now of cheque book trialing........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
