It's staying shiny orange (who thinks these names up?) and the replacement tank is that colour - side panels left as bought.

Look great already from 400 miles away, apart from that silencer, yuk. There is so much going on with 500s, 550s I can't keep up. What's wrong with that tank?

Orcade-Ian:
The original tank (still on in those pics) has a couple of pin-holes on the left side - possibly from ethanol over the years and there was quite an amount of rusty water under the fuel.  The actual base is very good but that left side (only) is weak. It has cleaned out very well. Could certainly have a piece let in but I came upon a cracker for the right money.
