An RDLC Tank for Sale

[pkay]

OK now that I have got your attention, there is an ad on ebay for full bike which includes a tank that at first looks sems ok. The whole bike is currently $450 so you also get an engine seat wheels and pipes and frame with your tank but no airbox by the looks of it - Bargain.

The fine print also says they have an RZ fibreglass tank (with a race bike) and a 350LC for sale as well.

Yeah its a roughie tho, but it is cheap... not easy to get to unless youre in vic tho :/

looks like an incomplete nail though, at least one shaft missing from the motor, "bullet" hole in the tank? No rad, carb tops, airbox etc.
seat and tailpiece are from an RZ.
These ads always baffle me, its whats mentioned in the small print thats interesting.

Looks like very little worthwhile there.

The tank people the tank - forget the rest it's just bin filler or a bonus depending on your perspective

I get it Pkay, but $450 plus shipping for a rusty tank wiv an ole in the side?

Dude, I'll sell you a tank like that for $450

[Thommo]

if any of you lot get it, i can pick it up for you and give you a hand to sort out freight/delivery etc, it's only down the road from my place. I need an engine, but i haven't the dosh, so its a waiting game for me until i find one.

[BRG1200]

Kind offer Thommo.

[JonW]

Very kind offer Thommo.

He reduced it to 400 and got a bid...

[Thommo]

Happy to help out

And speaking of tanks, this is now winging its way to a mate in brissy for his bike. All painted and ready to roll.

[Thommo]

[JonW]

Nice! who painted that, you?

[BRG1200]

Thommo, are you teasing us with Yamaporn?
Is that to go on the bike with no engine?
Thats quite a statement of intent

[Thommo]

Yeah, they've come up nicely from what was sent to me, the tank has been given a coat of redkote on the inside etc. the decals are from norbo cleared over the top etc, usual stuff.

I've managed to get a hold of a tank for my bike, its a bit sad on the inside, quite some cutting and welding to do. Or I could goop it and go down the fibreglass tank route... Which is a lot of work...
