that's a carbon fiber tank? if it is love the negative style paint job. leave the carbon show through on the details is a nice touch.

Yes its a carbon fibre tank. The guy did a good job, you cant feel any line where the CF meets the paint.

Seriously, tho, very nice.  waytogo

Stunning!!

a few bits of advice from one carbon owner to another..   
1) caswell coating for the inside is a must!
2) if the tank was used, check the hinge for cracks
3) NEVER lift the tank with any gas in it (hinges on these are weak)


Absolutely gorgeous paint job!  Cant wait to see it on the bike

I have always been a blue fan myself.  Tongue  Couldn't help myself.  Your tank looks awesome.
Are you getting matching fairings too?
