    "new" 85 xj 700

    Does anyone out there have a fuel tank for an XJ700 maxim???
    I have recently aquired one and am progressing with a sort of resto. The tank I have is dented in the top next to the filler. Got a fender off e-bay. Shoulda come here first...

    Any help would be cool

    Thanks

    Hey Barry,

    If the dent is near the top, you might be able to use a bent pry bar or such to push it back up/out?

      I have one on a parts bike. I'll have to take a look at it to check the condition. I'll get back later today.
