Alternative tanks
« on: June 11, 2020, 02:47:52 PM »
Just to say, growing impatient at not being able to ride, I ordered a 750K1 tank and it came in the post today and it fits really well on the 500.  I just had to grind a small bit off the mountings on the frame, 2 or 3mm each side.  The length is perfect, no adjustments needed to the saddle.

I'm sharing this info in case anyone else has this problem as it is seemingly getting impossible to find 500K tanks now.  I think people have been buying them to restore.  My longer term plan is to weld the 500 tank then put it back on and then sell the 750 tank.  Knowing me it could well take years to get that organised.  :)

Luckily, it was already painted black so no need to do anything else.
