Possibly as the garage billed me for a gallon of petrol and I then rode to the fuel station 5 miles up the road. The fuel light came on just before pulling into station and I put in 15litres of fuel.

Hi just thought I would add an update. I have finally got my hands on my bike after the new tank and re commissioning. The tank was probably American. And required a different fuel tap to fit. I have ridden it home and she was really sweet and can only be described as new to ride. Powerful, tight fa...

Thanks! I did state the year, I will see the garage tomorrow and let you know what happens

Hi the tank colour is red! It's been taken to the garage( I was going to say dropped off but shouldnt tempt fate) I am sure they will let me know if there is a problem. I notice ones up for auction have different decals also! So not as worried as I was!

Hi guys the tank arrived today! What I have noticed is the decal is different. The New tank has the Honda wings where as the old one had firestorm! I assume these are just from different countries? I do prefer the firestorm decals however if the tank fits I will be delighted!

Hi Guys, I have ordered up the new tank from DSS. Thanks for all your kind offers! I will take a good look at mine when I get it back as I have learnt that with some know how and time that there is still hope for my other tank so may do as a spare or may consider selling depending on what is fair va...

I am going to buy a new tank from Dave Silvers at £295 +Vat as I intend to keep her long term and worry about the other tank at a ...

Hi just purchased a 1998 VTR1000 in red because I have read it's the fastest colour! I have purchased it from the well known auction site. She looks like new with 7000 miles but has sat in a heated garage for the last 10 years by the one original owner. It has a fuel leak so it's going straight to m...
