That would be nice to have a tank that nice. Once you put fuel in it and give it a week or two and its gonna look like crap.

I wounder if he sealed the inside of the tank. I have seen a guy who restores Can-am Motorcycles and how he restores the plastic tanks is he seals the inside of the tank so that the fuel vapors dont leak through the plastic and bubble the paint. Its almost worth a shot to have a tank like this one.

I was excited about that when I saw it too.. until I realized that it was painted. Personally I wouldn't call painting a plastic tank a restore..

Asked the seller if tank was sealed on the inside and he said it was not. Its a dam shame that someone is going to pay good money for that tank and then once they add fuel its going to be flushed down the toilet.

My personal belief is that a painted Tecate tank is not restored.. Dude is nuts..

Don't you just love when people do that stuff. Craigslist is notorious for this (among other things). My favorite is "Its a $1000 this weekend only, but after that the price is going up". There was a guy by me with a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro pile of a 350x that started at $750, then went to $1300, then to $2000, then back to $1000, and the last I saw it's still on there for $500.

Just makes you wonder what in the hell people are thinking most of the time.
