    Venture tank sells for $300

    It's time for someone to get out their tinsmithing tools......

    Looks like a toss-up.

    Invest in Venture tanks or silver????????

    Well, people keep throwing them out here to the dogs like piece of sirloin.

    It turns into a feeding frenzy.

        The starting bid was 150 bucks and the "buy it now" was $300.00 and there was only one bid!!

        Someone right for the throat on this one.

        More power to him, or her. That is way out of my league.

          ........and it looked to need some help on the inside.....can't judge a tank(book) by its cover(or cover-up) in this case.

            Guess I "stole" my venturer tank at $50. Had some rust that the radiator shop took care of. Lined it with Caswells, stripped, sanded, painted, and all is well. Add the 750 FD and my fuel range surpasses my saddle range.

              Pat,
              You better keep your eye on your bike when you stop riding. Especially if you see another xs11 nearby!!!
