I won the auction for a so-called Carbon tank and it IS a piece of crap! See details:
Pump mount base is out of round and will not seal, also not tapered to seal against O-ring - Screw holes are filled with resin and not in correct position - interior has gobs of resin and fiberglass that did create leaks - weave is wild and not correctly spliced at seams - underside of tank is fiberglass dyed black with resin tinted black on top of that - scratches from sanding rough edges and not filled or even close to presentable - runs along both sides and front from brushing resin (runs are flowing upside down) -household waterline used for interior vent line (this is supposed to be fuel grade rubber hose for submersion) - and the resin was still wet and not fully cured upon arrival after 4 weeks of waiting and ridiculous excuses.
The photos are all filtered so you don't see the actual low quality and surface flaws that would normally show with a decent camera. I shipped the tank back to what could be the commercial address (32-12 82nd Street East Elmhurst, NY) after filing a claim with Paypal (and winning but not getting all of my money back yet, due to him draining his account right before Paypal froze his account).
Bottom line, this guy is a CROOK and if you look at all his posts, both here and in public (even in his auctions he's calling out people by their full name) you'll see he NEVER addresses the real issue, he never admits directly to selling crap, and he has had the same M.O. for the past 5-7 years that I've seen in public record (only after the fact did this come to my attention).

Stay away from this guy, unless you absolutely don't care about getting conned, and don't care about waiting forever to get some of the worst parts for your bike. The next thing I can tell you is that this crook will come on here and say these are all a bunch of false fabrications, and that everyone should just go buy retail, and it will all be misspelled and choppy.
