I have the leaky hinge issue on my 2001 steel tank.  Minor issue, but needs repair sooner rather than later.  I'm trying to figure out best/cheapest solution.  I just don't have the space/place to do the POR-15 myself, and frankly do not have the skill to braze the hinge.

- I called Brooklyn Moto and they said that they don't have a guy anymore to do it.

- I had the bike at ECS and was quoted ~$500, which made me think, 'Well, heck, i can get a used tank for that.'  So I took the bike back.

- I considered reaching out to DucPainter, but NH is kinda far and I expect shipping to cost $$$.

Recommendations and advice welcome.

Just called Joe and got a ~$75 estimate.  Woo-hoo!  Now I just need to get the tank to him.  If this works out, I'm buying you a beer Pakhan. Or six. drink
