I've seen plastic crack with drilled, but not metal.

I would post a link, but I don't have one.

Oh, wait!

Here's one...

Boy,tough crowd.Sorry,I don't even know how to post a link but it's on the Access Norton forum under thread titled  "Ever see one of these?" and I was mistaken,supposedly it was in a steel tank for a Triumph that a restorer was fitting a rack on.

Is this the thread to which you refer?

Yes,thank you Zarn,read the 4th entry down.I realize you can't believe everything you read on the internet but I do know from experience that you need a "buyers beware" philosophy when doing buisness on the internet.
Ducpainter,I apologize that I can't post a link.I am an old school,semi computer illiterate.I don't even own a cell phone! I just fumble around on my Mac untill I get results. Embarrassed

The buyer beware part is universal I think.

My only point was if you're going to make claims about products failing you should be able to document what you're saying. Otherwise it comes across as internet noise. It really is simple, and I'd be happy to explain how.

I don't have a cell phone either FWIW.

Any chance these will be ready next week? Kidding...sort of. Sure would be nice to have a non-swollen, non-rippled, non-piece-of-shit tank... bang head




Really, I was just tired of digging so far back into the pages to find this thread.

"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.

Yep.  Good ol' iphone posting. 

My point was, he had just said that the details were being worked on the day prior.  Not like Izaak is going to sit on his hands when it comes to releasing the info.

The word actually is impatient... unless you're talking about hospital patients.

Was gonna call 'em on that, but some of us could be considered inpatients from time to time.


Back to topic::: I'm on tank 2, but even the first wasn't horribly distorted. I'd entertain a metal tank (steel or alum, I don't care) if this one starts to go FUBAR on me. I'd just want one that is similar shape to the factory one. I don't care for the shape of the one CA offers (offered?).
