    Tecate blemished tank skin.

    Not real fancy, but an improvement, especially for the cost. Just plopped it on, haven't messed with fitting it yet.

    For the price they can't be beat. I got a blem too, and am very happy with it. No place for a zip tie but I think the gas cap and the seat will do that just fine.

    Thanks, I was trying to figure out something to suck it down, It sticks out a inch on the back side. I was concidering that 3M Super77 spray-on glue, but didn't know how well in the cold with the gas fume penetration and all, it'd hold, thanks Xowner, saved me some $ havin' to experiment. I know this was cheap, how well fitting was the $80 one Huffie? Just kinda lookin' at the 'american made' quality here. As dcreel got a shotty plastic tank and over $80 for a couple square feet of plastic on the skin, I'm concerned with quality we're recieving for our Tecate's (which the skin for the money this is an o.k. deal, but really doesen't even fit my tank).

    The one I have that came with one of my Tecates fits very good, I don't have anything holding it one except the gas cap and the pressure from the seat and it has never went anywhere (even during a fairly violent high-side it stayed put) I haven't tried the ones I just got yet, I'm hoping for the best
