    Clarke Plastic Tank and Maier Plastics....Junk or a worthy options?

    Thanks to the foresight of the previous owner...stock tank (major rust)
    has finally had it's way and my plastics ( major cracks & sun damage)
    are beyond repair. Unless I want to continue with the current Rat Rod
    Look...i'll need to find replacements.

    Please share your experience...THANKS!

    Clarke fuel tanks
    Having never seen one myself...how are they? Do they fit well and are they reliable? Is there a
    Better option out there (plastic or not)?

    Maier Plastics or others:
    Same goes for these...never seen them in action. How are they? Do they fit well? Reliable or not?
    Are there better after market options? Or....?

    Cheers, Shawn

    Depends on what you are using it on. Clarke tanks for the 84-85 Tecate are junk. They are supposedly rebuilding the mold, to make better tanks for the 84-85 Tecate.
    Rides:
    1986 ATC250R (sectional pipe and Klemm Research silencer)
    1986 ATC250R (Desert Bike, WAX-ON seat, Dual Cibie lights, Steering Stabilizer)
    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)

    I'm also curious about the Maier fenders too. I had an older set of rears for a 200x that were dull, and the red wasn't even close to the Honda red. The ads on Ebay say they're a match for Honda in color and finish. Is this true? Might be in the market for new 200x rears and '85 250r front fenders. Just would like to know before I buy if the finish is close to oem Honda.

    '85 Honda Big Red 250es

    BRUP!!!!!!!!
