Wow... I guarantee that's gonna go big big $

 

[locOleoN]

LOL... Hey.. Go big or don't go at all!! ;D

 

[Tim]

That's pretty nice - and the Monza cap is worth a good $80 on its own, and another $40 or so for the strap that seems to be included to hold the tank down.

That being said, is it the right tank for your frame? Go buy the Featherbed frame. It's in Windsor! We can drive to get it.

Well don't tell anyone, but I have a couple cans of matte black barbecue paint in the garage, lol

 

[Crash]

Nice Find, But I won't be jumping on the bandwagon. It would be a shame to paint that tank black, and that's what I would do.

 

[Tim]

Well, the one auction that ended went for $500+. I'm pretty stoked that I got mine for $350 locally

I"m with Crash... alloy is nice... but i don't really go in for NICE bikes... I tend to like my rat bikes (cept maybe my CB...)
