Who makes an aluminum gas tank for our GS's? I think they look great, but I never see them on cafe' GS's.

Only person ive been able to find is The Tank Shop out of Scotland i think. But, expect to spend a mint, and wait a long time. Im sure there are others, but i dunno....
Benji from BCR (Benji's cafe racers) frequents the Do The Ton Forum, and while they do mostly Honda bikes, I have talked to him a couple times about doing some stuff and he's very willing to. Seems he's getting bored with the same ol same ol.. .

Thanks, I was hoping to find an alternate source. Have you checked out the Guzzi tanks he has?

Yep. That is the problem with low volume, custom, EXTREMELY highly skilled artistic work. You get to pay a lot for that skilled time... There are no cheap alternatives that I have ever heard of. Short of making it your hobby and doing your own, that is.

They are indeed gorgeous! Its a dream of mine to be able to do such a thing someday. Ive been looking at finding some schooling for just such a thing, to no avail yet. Seems to be a dying art.

Unfortunatly, you are right! I just don't have the time to learn how to build tanks.
www.storzperf.com has a beauty listed for $1050.00.
I think the part # is 883-RR. It is listed for a Harley but it sure is pretty.

Thanks Steve!
The Cafekid is partly right about the Tank Shop in Scotland - though I think they are competitively priced and they were pretty quick for a mate's BSA cafe racer. Their workmanship is absolutely first class - works of art. I've seen what I think is their stuff selling for way more secondhand too.
Exchange rate and postage may of course be a bummer for anyone in the US though.

Wow - I'm really sorry to hear this. He hadn't been on the forum for long, but I specifically remember some of his posts here. They were refreshing and funny and intelligent. Very sad to hear he left so unexpectedly, and thanks for letting us know.

My condolences, Ashley! Very sorry to hear of this. I recall having left Dave a message inviting him to ride with us next season - it's too bad we'll have missed the opportunity!
If you decide to do something different with his motorcycle please let me know. We'd certainly like to keep it in the "GS Resource Family" if you and your boyfriend decide not to hang on to it. My best friend lives in Zion - fifteen minutes from Kenosha, and I'm not too much further away, so if you need any help with it don't hesitate to contact me. Needless to say, have your boyfriend sign up here and we'll give him any help he needs. Also, we'd love to have you both join us for a GS ride in memory of your uncle sometime this coming season.
Respectfully,

I sent an email to the administrator telling him about the offensive message. I hope that he sees it soon.
It would seem to me that it would be useful to have several very senior members have access to the tools to delete such messages, without needing to go to the administrator. He alreadys has too many responsibilities.
