Title: Tank Trim
Post by: TezzerTel on February 01, 2025, 10:28:14 AM

Has anyone tried this tank trim? Looks cheap enough to give it a go

My 500 had that type of trim, trouble is it tends not to stay on the tight bends even when bonded as mine was in the area by the steering column.

In the end I binned it so have no tank trim, had I thought it through I would have had it painted white where it fits.

The 400 does not have that trim so my 500 is now the same , not original or concourse but not bothered, only person I have to please is me.

Not that I’m promoting products, but the one supplied by NJ was mighty fine.

I used that eBay stuff, trick is to warm it with a hairdryer to get it to stay in place.

I don't stock the tank trim at present. My supplier increased their prices so it wasn't viable any longer.
I'm talking to another supplier, I'll let you know the outcome next week. Is anyone else wanting the trim?
