  • A new custom tank??

    Hi guys, I was just wondering if there are any possibilities out there for a "custom" aftermarket tank that could be made to fit the 11. I'm going to do a paint job and I figure if I can get a nice custom tank with no seams I would go with that. Any ideas or sources?

      Wow, they do some beautiful work! I like the chrome or polished look too. I'm not sure of the price conversion, but 40 weeks is a little disappointing. Thanks for that link - very interesting

        Hi 'Rider,
        my currency conversion thingie says UKĀ£450 = US$728 and don't forget there will be shipping charges on top of that.

            Hi 'Rider,
            at least you will not be asked to pay the 17% VAT (value added tax) on top like the Brits have to.
            But if you want to swap appalling cost for incredible skill, go here:-

            To see what can be done with DIY.
