Title: Wanted, watermelon tank
Post by: brian kirby on October 27, 2013, 11:19:47 AM
I'm looking for a watermelon tank, I would prefer red but I dont really care what color it is, and I dont want a cosmetically perfect one, this will be on a racer.

I'm also looking for a big "enduro" Motoplat flywheel for my 400.

I would rather have a not really nice one, but I will pop for a nice one too Jerry. Are you going to Rio? If so we can figure it out and if you have the flywheel, bring it and the tank with you.

Brian,
 I have a red "melon" tank at the shop.. been a year or 2 since I looked at it.  If I remember right it was in Racer condition.. In other words, Not a perfect one, but a good mechanical one.  I will check tomorrow at the shop and see..

Brian, I dug out the tank. As I remembered, not too bad. It has rust around the fill neck and rust on the inside of the cap.
Outside has the usual scratch's. Nothing major. The decals are half peeled off.
 Its an extra tank I picked up somewhere, cant remember.
Let me know if your interested.

I actually need 2, I am getting one white rough looking one from Larry, and the red one you have sounds exactly what I want, solid but I dont care about scratches or peeling stickers.
