Long Shot
« on: January 08, 2026, 12:20:13 AM »
Erm........I should probably have posted this in the  "desperately seeking" section, but here goes....
I want to  put '69 type side panels on a '71 K1 based bike.
I've already got the side panels but apparently it requires the fitting of a '69 type oil tank also.
And therin lies the problem  - there don't seem to be any used ones to be had.
I did find one on ebay  - for £600 !
And apparently that got sold.
The apparent rarity suggests maybe a durability issue with the early oil tanks  ?
Well TBH, I really don't fancy paying out £600 or anything near.
Could I pick up a damaged/split tank and repair it  ?
Or maybe just substitute something else  ?

Not durability just different shape, you MAY be able to adapt a later tank
