Hi from the far north of Scotland.

My tank started leaking and not wanting to be off the road while I fix it I managed to score this on eBay

The paint on the tank is ok ish. The side panels are toasty and don't fit, they're for the none electric start model, so I'll just paint the tank. Lucky timing, these parts are very hard to find and almost impossible in the UK.

Having had the bike running on the new tank (it just needed a swill out with petrol, it's really clean and rust free inside). I investigated the leak and it turned out someone had sawed a hole in the bottom of the tank and filled it with a frost plug glued in with plumbing putty.😳
