I take my hat off to you, if I had a fraction of your talent I'd be very happy. I can see from your pictures why you are happy with your tanks. Regards Graeme ( there's some genuine artists on this forum ) |

Thanks for your kind words Graeme. I have been building up to making these for a little while. I always made my own tanks for other Ducati,s going back almost 30 years ago, wow, scary, time fly's ! Hence I remember all too well how frustrating they can be. The hard learned lesson was firstly preparation, - and then patience. With that in mind, a great deal of preparation time has gone into making formers and tooling. Plus, I'm a bit older now. |

The F1 frame tubes are straight along the whole length of the underside of the tank, however, I can alter the pattern to suit. Also the front mounts are 6mm screws to the underside at the corner lip to two frame lugs. I have a 750 F1 here so can make a tank (tanks) to that . Easy peasy. |

How much are they Mike ? Good point ! The answer is NZ$1400 including a screw in breather valve. This figure probably means little to anyone who lives elsewhere than here on the moon. I will do an F1 tank for the same price. My calculator says this equates to £725 uk, 868 euro, USD 1195. --- And for you Mike, $1320 aus. all at todays exchange rates. However, I failed my maths O level exam at school, so maybe check with your own sums. |
