[QUOTE="Spqreddie, post: 46230, member: 1009"] Dear All, any experience with indian tanks? i remebmer having read something here in the past, I'm surprised by the amount of the supplier of Vincent tanks in India! (seems more than 15!) they are probably being made by a few factory (or by the same factory!) and most of the seller are probably just reseller. There are enormus price differences, but given that probably the quality or the tank is not going to be great anyway, i would tend to think that it might be better to buy a cheap one as probaly some fixing job has to be done anyway. Those seems the less expensive: [url]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-REPRODUCTION-VINCENT-HRD-BLACK-SHADOW-RAW-STEEL-FUEL-TANK-/251039464179?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item3a731e3af3[/url] [url]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-VINCENT-HRD-BARE-METAL-PETROL-TANK-/271103351644?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3f1f04db5c[/url] [url]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260848421851?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649[/url] [url]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261273316309?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649[/url] Any experinece to share? The back of the tank seems not ending in the correct way, the way those tanks merge into the back of the UFM at the junction with the springs boxes, but may be is a matter of pictire perspective. I know is not original but should be ok as base for a modified tank job. Thanks, Edmondo [/QUOTE]
