Long story short. Got divorced 3 years ago and bike sat. Fuel evaporated in the tank and caused some internal corrosion. Noticed bubbles in the paint when I took everything apart for a restoration project and peeled the bubbles away and the primer under was pretty pitted. When I took it to the painter today he had a look and pointed all the spots that there were more than likely pinholes. He sanded about a dime size spot where one was and showed me. It made me sick to see that kind of damage.
Now, I might be able to seal things up enough to not ever leak...but it could happen and I would still be out the $500 bucks for paint...OR I could get another one. Ebay isn't turning up much for carby tanks.
What I am seeing for a replacement is the ca-cycleworks track tank which is the most cost effective, or carbon at about $1500 or aluminum for $2000+
Is it possible to use an early fuel injected tank and not mount the internal fuel pump? Does anybody make an adapter for the pump flange to work with the mikuni vacuum operated fuel pump?
It's been a bit since I been around, so most of what I did know what and doesn't work has been long forgotten.
