couldnt you just get a normal (undamaged) tank off ebay and get it chromed? or are they a different shape altogether?

I must admit I thought thats what the previous owner had done, I didnt realise it was a limited editiion

The trick would be getting a mint tank with no filler anywhere on it.

One of the 'old' members had a lovely USA import M900ie Chromo (black frame etc) - Giorgio was a lovely fella who also helped out in making the DVD of the weekender back in 2003 & 2004. Lived locally to us - not far from Kingston on Thames

Am sure some here will remember him - even if it was for going straight on (rather than round a bend) on the 2004 Saturday rideout to Wales with Phoenix)
Scared tha pants off me when he joined AK & I for a rideout back from the National Motorcycle museum in 2002 - as he rode it like an Italian can only do, all the way home

that is quite stunning - and thats from someone who's seen an awful lot of chrome on italian bikes (ok scoots ) over the years!

i paid £1495 on an r plate with 12 month mot for mine, seen more standard looking ones going for more. the bike shop owner did say the original owner had spent a silly amount of money on it. and since collecting it on saturday ive added an acewell digi dash to it, as the rev counter on the s4 clocks did not work.

and already every one that sees it comments on it
