GS-PD, Tank Photos needed!!

[Valker]

The guy who will re-spray my bike said he can the pattern correct if I can give him photos of the fuel tank. Rob farmer kindly agreed to let me take some dimensions off his bike, however it would be easier for me to give the guy photos so he can scale them.

I need side of tank and a couple of good ones of the top of the tank so he can get the strips correct.

Thanks guys.

These any good Joe?

Not sure if my tank is OE or a dream Machine jobbie or not !!

Almost identical to mine. I think the white 'crash bars', the other bars and the hand protectors looks far better in white than my red 'uns. Much to bitty. What sort of fork brace is that? Home made? Can you show us?

Home made

Bought it from http://www.boxxerparts.de/xtcshop/index.php?XTCsid=9273c00e699cdcfa35410d4fe46df2cd

Stainless steel and very VERY rigid

Remember, mine is a G/Spd conversion so you'd need to order a Para gspd version. I think they are about £80 ( BMW OE jobbie is about £110 and crap compared to it...that is if you can get an OE one).

I'm with you. Mine has vertical tapped holes at the top of the sliders whereas yours are horizontal and further down the sliders. Thanks for the tip. I've seen the San Jose brace but it's rough cast and although it may well be effective enough, I think machined alloy or S/S is the way to go.
