Well I got a new c/s sprocket and a couple of oil filters for the KTM. Does that rate?

No? Bugger, budgets a little (ehem) sparse at present.
Where's the photos Woodman? You've only had all day...

Would have, but transporting the tank and the bike there would have been a mission, the thing is huge.

Put me new tank on today, it went reasonably smoothly. Worst part was bashing the reservoir bottle side straight after the big river incident.

The bike in my opinion is now not as pretty, and i still can't figure out how to use the fuel in the rad shroud parts so have no idea of mileage. Will give it a shake down run tomorrow then pull it off to see if there are any rub marks etc.

OOps fitted it to the wrong bike.

Yes but more practical now for what you are using it for Woodman.

What you are missing is the decal from the original shrouds & tank, which made it seem smaller. What is the tank made from. Will it allow decals to be applied, or will it 'breath' gas fumes?

A fave Far Side quote. Vern is a bull blowing up an inflatable cow. Quote is from his excitable sidekick.

And oddly enough, my grandad was Vern.

apparantly they breathe too many gas fumes for decals to stick, and at the end of the day spending dosh on decals which are only gonna get worn off seems a waste to me. The good thing is the tank is the same physical size as the stock one so don't need to adjust riding position etc. I didn't get it for range as klrs have bloody good range anyway.
