Wrenching

Today we took the tank off the wrecked 450 parts bike to see how the new Tank gas tank would fit and look on it. It is hard to say since the wrecked bike is quite bent. But, I think hubby wasn't discouraged about it fitting so that's a good thing. He's the one who will be modifying it to make it work. Here are some shots I took of the two tanks. I didn't take any shots of it on the bike. The Rebel gas cap fits. That's convenient.

The new tank is here! The new tank is here! Had a bit of a scare at first. See the hole in the box? Well it turned out to be ok. That was the crappiest packing job I've ever seen. The tank was wrapped in one sheet of foam and put in the box. The box was barely even taped closed. Yikes. But, it turned out to be ok thank goodness. I guess that's how they keep prices down. And you really do get what you pay for.



There is a bit of rust on the bottom which is quite annoying. But, the plans are to paint it so c'est la vie. Anyway, here it is in all of its glory. :-) Not bad for a brand new $90 tank. I'm very happy with it and am looking forward to getting it painted.

Yay!!
