I’ve been thinking about buying a Custom Flame Painted tank Link I was wondering if anyone had one. And if I did what would be a good price for my old but in excellent shape tank?

I've had the flame tank for several years. The tank looks a lot better in person then in photo's. You won't be disapointed with it...

Thanks. If you are talking about the chrome side cover on the right side of the bike, it’s a Triumph part. A few years back you could buy them through any Triumph dealership, but they had some quality problems with the chroming process so they stopped making them. I was lucky enough to find one before they disappeared.
Since you are in Edgewood, are you going to join us for the Skyline ride next Sunday? Jeff is coming down from Baltimore and Al & Dale are coming down from the Northwest Maryland area.

Billy, what year and color is your tank? I may be interested in purchasing it if you buy the custom flame kit.

Then you are REALLY gonna kick yourself when you hear this one!  I got an all black off eBay last year for $60!!  I now have a full set of tins and I paid less than $200 for all of them. Keep looking, the deals are out there...
