Pointy tank
 

Hey guys,

Been out of the SV game for a while but am looking at getting the track bike back up and running.
She's been mothballed for 6 years so there's a good chance I'm going to have a rusty tank. The one's on ebay are silly money so thought I'd see on here if anyone has a spare!
It's a K4 and I don't mind a dent here or there but ideally it'd look pretty smart.

Anyway, if anyone has anything let me know!
Dave

Not sure if they are interchangeable but I have an 2010 SV tank "its the blue and white strip one" that is basicly brand new had only done circa 1000 miles and has been boxed carefully ever since it does have one mark on it after a rogue shelf caught it.

If it fits i'll get it out a photopgraph it

Re: Pointy tank
 

That sounds perfect! Maybe someone on here could confirm it'll fit but I suspect it will.
Do you want to PM me with a price? May have to wait till next month though as funds are a bit low at the mo!

Re: Pointy tank
 

I'll get some photos today, to be honest its never going to be worth what I paid for a brand new replacement, once I have uploaded the photos just let me know what you think is fair and then well sort something.

Are you still in biggleswade? I am near Leeds.

Re: Pointy tank
 

Sounds good mate.
Yeah I'm in Biggleswade so it'll probably have to be posted really, unless any kind soul is driving down the A1 and can do a pickup/drop off. I'm not in any rush though and I do occasionally have to drive up that way for work.
Let's see...

Can anyone confirm that a 2010 tank will fit on a 2004? I presume it will...?

Re: Pointy tank
 

yes they are all the same. pretty much all parts from k4 onwards will fit pointys with exception of a few parts from pointy K7 onwards twin spark but these are mostly electrical and engine related.

same goes for some of the k3 parts except the rear due to the straight subframe.

if your bike has a kink in the rear subframe legs then the bike is classed as k4> (some later k4 have silver frames with kinked legs). if the bike has straight rear subframe legs then its classed as k3 (all silver fames).

people assume that if the frame is silver then its a k3.. its not so you must check the rear subframe legs.

Re: Pointy tank

Re: Pointy tank
 

where are you? Would you post it?

Re: Pointy tank
 

hold up. Pre-K3 stuff won't fit.

Re: Pointy tank
 

The tank i have left is off a 2002 just sold the complete 2000 bike
I'm in lancashire, I will find out cost to post to you what is your post code ?

Re: Pointy tank
 

as ophic has said a 2002 tank won't fit a k3> bike.

Re: Pointy tank
 

ah, damn. Oh well, thanks for the offer though!

Re: Pointy tank
 

I have a spare K7 tank lying around. Silver (yhg), dented.

There is a small problem though: I live in Poland and posting costs might be high. I could check them for you if you're interested.

Re: Pointy tank
 

Thanks for the offer marhan but I'm pretty sure it would cost too much to post from poland!

Re: Pointy tank
 

Hi chaps.

Has this deal been done? I too am after a pointy tank. I will post my own ad if this has gone.

Cheers
