Wow indeed! Scratched tank for sale $1,750
MrDavo:
NOS candy blue green tank, 'never had petcock installed' but does seem to have paint wear from a saddle (though that could be the lighting).
Also has a healthy scratch, down to the metal, which is probably why it was replaced by the dealer. When you embiggen the picture, it's worse than it seems at first glance. If you were going to spend that much, unless you knew someone very good at repairing 3 pack paint, you'd still want to have it resprayed, or just go to Yamiya.
Yours for $1,750 (+ carriage, import duty etc).It does say 'Sandcast' - but doesn't look very wrinkly to me.

Yamiya tanks (wrinkle) are not OEM and are 10mm difference in the fuel filler to the seam ;)

And the tank stripes?? Decals does not look to me for that price ??? ??? ???
MrDavo:
Well if you're going to build your sandcast from bits, the same seller also has this gem - most of a sandcast crankcase half. In what way it maybe repairable I don't know - what the hell did that damage?
I did see a seized K0 for sale in the USA last year with the helpful info that '95% free off with a breaker bar on the crank'. Maybe this one was 'freed off'? oh, and the oil filter boss has been broken off too.
We won't even get into matched pairs of cases etc....

A nice piece of glass and maybe you could make a coffee table out of it.
