eddie_lejeune Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hi, whats the chances of getting a new one of these from somewhere? OR Has anyone painted one that is actually a good job? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesy Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Eddie, You might be lucky if you ask about, maybe stick an advert on Wobblie Will's and on TC'c classified, I have a brand new pinky tank in a box for my TY which I will be sticking on when I can start riding it again, the point I'm making is that if I have one stashed away then some else might also have one and no longer have a TY to stick it on. Just to clarify this is in no way an advertisement for me trying to entice you to buy mine as I will NOT be selling mine! As regards sealing, I've heard about attempts to seal the inside of the tank to prevent fuel vapour escaping which would allow painting but I don't know how successful this is over time.
