sadly not
lots appearing in ebay.
i can message the 'for sale on forum' now, so more choice.
looking to see whether there is a 'common faults and problem', other than the cam chain tensioners.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Options are: 19L 01–05 later model tank (you'll need to find one and a few bits and mod the fuel gauge) VFR tank (ugly but practical - needs a hammer to get it to fit) Carry a 5L petrol can in a tankbag when ranging far (cheap and practical) Refueling while on the move > https://www.bmwblog.com/201...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
I did that when I rode to south of France last year on the 2. Brimmed it, then left it in the sun outside the services. Came out to find quite a puddle underneath it because the sun had caused the cold fuel to expand and run out of the overflow tube... google :lol: high on the first page of results...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
why is the tank so small?
is there scope for an enterprising person to enlarge it?
any skilled fabricators, sheet metal people and welders on here?
has anyone invested in an aluminium special - the tank shop, or similar - or does the extra weight cause other problems?

Re: New toy!
That's a good idea. So I tried one of those webuyanybike places. They offered me £300-500. Er, that's ok thanks but I'll pass. Wow that is an insult. These kind of buisnesses I think mostly take advantage of those that are truly desperate a bit like cash converters. Very sad and morally wrong IMO. ...

Re: hello from maryport
kirkstone is an interesting ride. so are the other passes. a colleague rides them each year. best done early in the day - to avoid the traffic and mountain bikes. i like honister in the spring and autumn. Hardknott Pass and then Wrynose Pass can be challenging when it gets busy. some bends are tight...

Re: FireStorm <--> Yamaha TRX850 commentary
A while ago I promised a VTR <--> Yamaha TRX850 comparison as I was getting off the long term latter for the former. Here it is in its potted glory. I do notice less efficient switch gear when it comes to cold gloved hand use on the VTR compared to the TRX. Indicator and kill switch especially. But...
