A long shot. My 34L has a good solid tank on it but it has 55w decals. Is anyone out there that needs a 55w tank instead of 34L wants to do a swap?
The decals have been clear coated so to change them would need this stripping back and probably getting the tank resprayed etc to do it properly and I'm no painter. I've struggled to find a painter that wants to take it on. The tank is in pretty good nick inside and out so it seems a pity to do all that if there's a 34L one out there. I'll buy it if necessary.
The bike gets used a lot so there's fuel running through it not sitting around
I'm near Banbury, UK
Thanks in advance
Paul

The painter I use would paint it.
You'll be looking like £350 ish I would expect as long as there's nothing amiss with it when they strip it.
Let me know if you need a number.

Wow the 1VJ tank looks mint. I am about to put the decals on mine and then send it off for clear coat. Any tips on applying and also positioning of the decals would be appreciated.
