Kevin,
 do you have a good blue or white tank that is for a 72 - 74? the same style enduro tank that came on the 125, 175 and 250 enduro model.
we called it a toster tank.
We are looking for one in white but bule would do. Its for the 175 conversion six - days we are building.
Does anyone know how to change the gel coat color on our fiberglass tanks. Painting is not my first choice. We can remove the old color gel coat with scotch bright and acetone but have not been able to find anyone that can spray or replace the color gel coat local.

John,

I have a pretty good blue toaster tank that we had orange Jackpiner stickers made for a bike that we were building last year for Jesse.  They could be removed are left that way to be unique.

Thanks Kevin,
A Phantom Phlyer huh!  Unfortunately I'm working and can't make Mid-Ohio (thrid year in a row, darn).  I will be at Chehalis and all the west nationals this year (working tech).  Look forward to meeting you!

Kevin,

Do you have a usable seat for a 77 - 78 250 or 400 MC5?

Thanks,

I have a very good seat like that and it has just been recovered for $150 plus shipping.  E-mail me if interested.  I also have the same item in the GP seat for 75 and older and one like the saddle type on 73-75 in the same spot-very good and just recovered.

John,
 I do have a airbox for the jackpine. At sometime in it's life a crack was repaired on the curved part behind the pipe. It looks fine. I'll send you both for $100.00 including shipping. Let me know. Kevin
