    Well my judgement is probably clouded by the fact that I just bought a similar one for £39.99.;)

    Well, I'd say it made mine realistically priced to sell and leaves yours sitting on ebay going rusty old chap. Do let us know the moment it 'goes' won't you? :D :D

    No mate. Still searching but two new tyres and a session on 'Lee Motorcycles' (Ledbury) dynometer have left me a little short of funds this month so I've not been looking too hard. :(

    However I did get this reply from 'Hartlepool Radiators' :-

    'Hi Nick,
    We've expanded a few different Honda tanks. We carry out the expansion process and our RENU process at the same time so they're lined with a rubberised lining too. It takes approx. 4-5 weeks and price £450-480+VAT.
    Thanks, Amy.'

    Hartlepool Radiator Company Limited

    Added to that, the price of a Top Shelter(!)

    CRC Fairings | Honda CBR1000RR 2008 - 2011 (HRC) Race Fairing Tank Cover

    Plus a spray in my bikes livery. Weeeell, you can see how I've had to put it on the back-burner.:(

    Nick.

    I bought my RR4 one for £50, but that was the cheapest I could find one as didn't want to pay big money as I was going to cut out parts of it!

    You have a Hummer Jase?
