I fell for the low price, stupidly and upon receiving it today - I am extremely dissaponted - it looks like an amateur has made it in a garden shed...
I will not be fitting this to my bike on grounds of safety alone - never mind the hideous squint paint job...
There's no way it'll hold fuel and I do not trust the integrity of the captive nuts or the rear locating tab...
There's a lot more I could waffle on about but I wont - just want to warn others to either go see the tank or STAY AWAY...
"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten..."
more fool me...
Not in the market for one, but nonetheless, thanks for the headsup. I'm sure others will appreciate it too
