I found another mechanic he said he will do my bike for $120, he said hes done it before to a bike, but he said he broke only one light out of all of them, so i might have faith in him in handling my sexy beast. etsnet, unless if u can come nearby my house and do it for me and i pay you $50, or i will just let the guy do it for $120, im gonna try and haggle the price down from the guy too. Thnx

You beat me to it.

pretty sure he's a spammer

[ducpainter]

pretty sure he's a spammer

I'd think so, but there are no links in his posts, or in his profile.

He's made the same basic post 3 times.

I'm thinking some sort of scraper bot.

Nah, his revenge would be explaining how a friend of a friend has a dog that owns 20 guns.

I figured I would try and bring this thread back on topic with a tank update.javascript:void(0);

I had photos taken of my S2R in January and after bugging the dealer with some phone calls they told me last week that they called Ducati NA and got approval to order a new tank.

They said to check in with them in 2 weeks to see if they got it yet. So I have my fingers crossed hoping this works out.

I plan on coating the tank before it's installed. My question is does the dealer have to install it? Could I pull the pump off the old tank change my fuel filter and just bring the 2 tanks?

Thanks!

All of the dealers I've spoken to are required to do the work themselves.  If you have a relationaship with that dealer, they might let you take the new tank and get it coated while they hold your bike (they can't let you have both tanks without approval from DNA).

This is what I was told as well.
