Title: Plastic tank replacement Post by: FastAndLight on July 20, 2009, 09:34:16 AM Hi all, I've reacently moved to the North Carolina coast. I was wondering if there was anyone else having the plastic tank problems and if there was a specific dealership that was better about getting the tank replaced than others.
I have an 07 S2R1000 and the tank is starting to grow. When I bought the bike it was rubbing on the ignition, now the frame pad doesn't sit right, and I just had to adjust the handlebars so that they don't hit the tank anymore. Thanks for the help.

Any thoughts? I'm going to go out on a limb and say neither will be great on something like this, but Barnett's is better.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. Trying to figure out what to do about the whole thing. What does everyone do for a dealer if neither are very good?

Pompetta's garage mostly ;D We're a lot of "do-it-yourself-ers" Title: Re: Plastic tank replacement Post by: FastAndLight on July 23, 2009, 02:48:32 AM Pompetta's garage mostly ;D We're a lot of "do-it-yourself-ers" I get that, but some things still need a dealership and that big fancy computer thing they have. I have e-mailed the folks who did a whole bunch of work on my bike back in Virginia. It will be interesting to see how this turn out.
