Leaky tank
mickwinf:
I used por15 on a 550. seemed to work ok, but sold bike so not sure of long term performance.

I used PQR on a tank for my cb650Z. I was meticulous with the prep and waited several weeks before filling with fuel. It lasted three weeks before is started to leak again. Not impressed!
In the end I spotted a new tank in David Silver and two side panels in Germany. I stomped on the old tank and bought the NOS ones. Cost £430. But when you deduct the cost of the PQR 15, the cost of the paint and add in the time to do it all without any guarantee that it will work or look good, it isn't so expensive.
It looked fab.
I learned the hard way and would go for a new tank ready painted up anytime.

What is PQR15? is that the same as POR15. Norniron, you have some paint to do your frame now ;)

May be you have read http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php?topic=4758.0
I was only interested in painting the inside of the tank, not sealing it. However the kit I used came with a small bit of gauze that you were supposed to steep in the paint etc and a brush for applying it. May be this will only work for small holes, but as a product I think POR 15 paint is very good.
