I have 2 petrol tanks in Candy Grand Blue.

One is my old one. Excellent condition considering it's age. It has a chip on the front of the tank and wear marks by the seat.

The other is brand spanking new. Never fitted and still sealed up. The only problem is that one of the fixing points got bent in transit and consequently the paint has come off. Should be easy enough to flatten the mount.

£100 and £200 plus postage

Both tanks come as seen in the pics.

Hi Tobes. Yes both available, although I have an enquiry about the used one from a guy in Ireland. Need to check postage costs for him. The chip is small, about the size of a match head. I can't find any pics to show at the moment. The ones we have either show it with a tank cover one, hence the good condition, or the flash relects and the chip is lost.

I'll try and get a couple in natural light over the weekend.

Just taken some.

This chip has been there since we bought the bike.

Marks where the seat has rubbed. Bear in mind this tank has done nearly 80k. Should be hidden by the seat anyway.
