[motoman]

A bit high even for what it is..................but different strokes for different folks.

tank price

For a really nice original color tank might try to get $150.00 but usually my average for tanks is $75.00-$100. Boy some people have too much money. andreas

Does that mean I need to discount the one on the left


mro
first tank (a very nice standard) I "sold" was to be $50.00.
When the guy showed up at my shop I just gave it to em.
Wonder if he might see his way to paying only $499.00 ?

Hey, MRO...
I gots fuel tanks hangin' from my rafters, too.
As they seem to now be so valuable, you might consider posting a guard.

Hmm...we should get together.
Might be able to "corner the market" on used XS tanks

We might have to do something about andreashweiss tho...
Can't let that upstart cut into the business

tanks,

I usually throw away tanks that look like the on on the left MRO, but parts are worth what someone is willing to pay I suppose. I do not have any tanks they seem to sell real quick when I have one(most likely selling them to cheap) Speaking of cheap parts I have one 79 special left sidecover(battery side) lock tabs not broken has emblems,not cracked or damaged. Emblems have been hand painted (poorly) bright red and sidecover is a pearl white(poorly) price includes shipping in continental USA by priority mail. $20.00. Note I am loading bike up right now for a road trip will be gone 07-16 march. Will not be able to ship until after 16 march. If anyone wants sidecover send me a PM. andreas

Whack it one more time real hard. How many fuel tank have a built in cup holder? That outa fetch 'bout $7-800 that way!!!

[JWSanders]

For $500, that tank's mouth better have a real mouth in it, that can be used at leisure.

[mro]

Been saving it for a day that I get really bored and need something to do. Only about 165,000 things to do first...
Figure a little heat/hammering/bondo and it will be good as new

money makers

After the $500 tank there are 7 listed on ebay. What did yall do? Raid your spare parts sheds?

[Geezer]

I've got a couple of hammered tanks too that I've been saving. I'm waiting for the planets to align so that I have time and welding equipment to build me a super 7 gallon endurance tank... <evil grin goes here>
