$15/hr doesn't buy as much here as I suspect it buys down your way

OK, $25/hr .., plus all of the above ...

I get paid $8.44/hr and usually late .... $1350/month ...

sorry, but, will DNA cover it?

I'm waiting to dissemble an M620 I'll measure tank and send measurments to a metal fabricator to quote the tank in aluminium and in steel ... for EFI ... This is my side job, repairing bikes!!!

Need to find another income, since, new boss says that for me to keep job, I need to compete again for it; this means that it can both ways ... Being offered a job, Shop Manager, less money in base salary, but comission wise can make it to my actual level or maybe more plus yearly bonus ... thing is, more hours ...

my local dealer doesn't seem to interested in returning emails or phone calls, I have to get around to stopping up there again and ask what's going on. When I was there last they acted as though they've never heard of this unusual problem  [roll]

Why not retrofit a steel monster tank from an injected bike?

I haven't actively looked for a steel tank or been properly following up with trying to get this resolved thru the dealer or this or that....
Procrastination plus heavy work load plus not sleeping well equals non inspected bike in the end

Could purchase Ca-cycleworks tank but don't know if you like the SBK look ... has larger capacity than the punny 2.5gls

Not that that helps you...

maybe a later option, funds are slightly tight for the moment though
to be honest, I wouldn't have gotten out on it as much as I'd like to even if I could this year
