Anyone ordering gas tank related stuff anytime soon?

Need an IMS replacement gas cap. US$14-16, but the typical shipping is US$30.
If anyone is ordering anything anytime soon it'd be handy to throw it in there too, otherwise will just have to order one anyway.

Current one is munted.

If it is for your DR650 and you want to go big (30 litres) then Safari Tanks is a good option, because I needed an oddball one I got mine through Just Gas Tanks, their service and delivery time was awesome, so too was their backup service when I needed a new cap seal.

I enquired about a drz400 17 litre tank from sarfari a few months ago. On the justtanks site they said theywon'tship to Aussie due to shipping costs. Anyway heres the reply I got from Sarfari:

Thank you for your enquiry. The cost for one tank to be sent to you will be
$421.82 AUD for the tank and $98.80 AUD for the freight. Total for one tank
is $520.62 AUD. To get two tanks sent to the same address it will be $801.46
AUD for the two tanks and $125.80 AUD for the freight. Total for Two tanks
is $927.26 AUD.

Works out to be $700NZ approx for 1 tank.

It's really because the Aussies were buying them from justgastanks who were cheaper inc shipping than getting them straight from Safari in Oz. So Safari complained to justgastanks........

The Aussie DR650 riders were a bit annoyed they could save quite a bit getting a 32L Safari from justgastanks than going down the road to Aqualine themselves.

The Oz prices may have come down a bit since then though.

I'm considering putting an order in at http://www.vincestrangmotorcycles.com.au/dr.html in the next few days for a few bits.

I see they do IMS tanks as well.
If you can get hold of one of their replacement gas caps as well, i'll give you that E-09 rear for nothing but freight...
Listed as AUD$25 on that dr page.
