i want to paint my tank black but i figured i would see if anyone wanted this tank before i went off and got it painted. So if anyone would be interested in trading tanks or whatnot just let me know. it has a few small knicks in it near the seat buy thats about it. i live off of george bush and coit if you wanted to look at it. sorry about the phone pics but its the best i can do. also its on a 2000 750 idk if that makes a difference if someone wanted to trade.

Dude, do NOT paint that tank...
Lisa? Cory? Bueller??
It'd be a nice tank to keep or have but it is from a carbed bike I think and many bikes in our group, at least those you called, out except for Bueller have FI and the tank won't fit. But yeah, don't paint over it.

DucDood?
NorDog??
there are usually some decent-shaped used tanks for sale on ebay i think... alan is the recent expert on monster tanks [thumbsup]
well i just think i would personally like a black tank better (i think i would really like the black with the gold frame and wheels.).... i think this is a pretty sweet tank its just not really me, so thats why i figured instead of having it painted someone might like this one for their bike....
maybe ill put this one up on ebay and just buy a black one if no one here is interested in it.
Umm, hell yeah, I'd be all over it if it fits.
DO NOT PAINT THAT TANK!!!! Sell it before you paint it. DO NOT PAINT THAT TANK!!!! [leo]
how hard would it be to convert that to some sort of awesome beer dispenser/keg device? that would be possibly the coolest thing ever...

If you need help with fabrication, once the PugglePod is done, I can find time.

In all seriousness, I think getting rid of all the gasoline residue inside would be a problem. There are certain things in there, I imagine, that you would not want mixed with your beer.
Other than that, since this is from a carbed bike, all you need is (BRAIN FART: what do you call that thingamajigger that turns the gas flow to the carbs on and off? Man, I need more sleep)... You can buy a new one for next to nothing anyway. If you really want it as a beer dispenser, then a way to pump pressure into the tank would be nice. Maybe fabricating a keg pump thing into the gas cap, and shutting the breather "holes" in the tank.
But really, there must be someone out there who wants this for their bike. If nothing else, sell it on ebay and buy a dark tank for half of what you got.

I see a ducati tank and I want to paint it black....
Cleaning it would not be a problem. I have some things that would do that.
Have to plug any venting and change any rubber seals so they wouldn't impart gas flavors. Replacements would need to be food grade.
Main problem is the tank is not food grade stainless. There are sealers sold to coat the inside of whatever you want to make a "drinking vessel" out of. But that would be getting pretty involved.
That needs to go on a bike. I'd put it on mine, but I am i.e.
no on is saying it should not go on a bike, the question is, once it is on the bike, should it dispense beer or gasoline?

Anyone interested in this tank?

you could really fit a lot of beer in there
well if anyone sees a black tank i could use on my monster if you could let me know where thatd be great then ill just put this one up on ebay or something.
I am looking for a tank to paint flat black, but that kinda defeats the stated purpose. Besides, it don't fit my dearest Francesca. (Anyone else name thier bikes?)

I was just thinking, What if you had this tank on top of some sort of Keg-erator and just plumbed the beer THRU it not actually in contact with the inside of the tank itself. Maybe work up some sort of pressure switch on the key flap of the filler area. Hmmmmmmmm

That is what I was thinking too. It would not destroy the value of it as a tank...
Maybe take the filler cap assembly out and have the tap handle on an adapter there...
