Metal tank is in my parts bin

I would just send it to Nate and get it fixed.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

have you had it installed yet?

see if you can eyeball the old and new tank insides

my new tank looked different inside, but it may have just been unstained.  gasoline stains.

It's been installed and I haven't picked it up yet.


I'll take a look if they have the old one handy too.


Still selling it ASAP.

be a good boy and line the tank as well.   keep your receipts.  if Ducati starts lining their tanks then you might be able to hit them up for the cost.

I already informed the likely buyer of the tank issue. He can do as he sees fit.

Schools about to be out and i got time to take it to the shop. Its across state lines, so its not an easy trip to make if i drop off the bike and take the train home, and then take the train there back etc...it'll cost me over $50 in tolls and train fare just to make the 4 legs of this trip!

but did you guys have to leave the bike with them to get it inspected? I fear they will take 3 weeks to insecpt the bike and another month to order the tank, and another month to install it..when the visual confirimation is enough to say the tank doesnt fit...

You're too used to dealing with idiots. They'll just look at it for five mins, take the VIN, and order one.


Then you bring it back when the new one comes in and they'll swap it out in a day.

^^ Yes, it was a 5-minute once-over along with some picture-taking for the "inspection".

Then I went home and he called me a day or so later to tell me it was approved.
