Should I sel my short track tank and buy other parts?

[Mike Fort Laud]

I took my short track tank off my bike because it is just to small for my riding area. The bike turns on a dime and the increased steering does it's job when you are in a radical slide. I love it on the bike,but I need more fuel. My stock tank is perfect and the shrouds are Honda new so that is back on. Now my big dilema is if I should just keep a $600 tank in a box in the closet. Yes I want it because it is a rare 250R part. I have the fender brace and over fender new in the pack I would not sell. But I can sell this tank and use that money to buy an equally rare if not probably more rare part I found. That nobody I know has for the 250R. This part will be functual as well but would not limit my riding distence. I do want this other part pretty bad. So should I sell the short track kit and use the money to buy this other part. Or should I just suck it up, keep the tank and buy the other part for $500. Now I will have $1100 dollars worth of Honda parts I dont want to use. What am I gonna do... I am thinking I will just take the hit and buy the other part and leave a wasted $600 tank in the closet to be never used again. I would just always kick myself in the but if I sell it. I will just keep all my rare parts to bolt on for Trikefest and special occasions just to look cool.

hi mike
i say keep it and think of it as part of your pension fund, its never going to devalue, there might come a time when your 250r becomes a show girl non rider and you might want the trick parts on it then.
so keep it!!

If you want to sell the short track tank I will buy it, I would like to put it on my boys ATC 80-R I built. Let me know if you get tired of it collecting dust in you closet. Jason.

are you selling the tank or the kit? if you are selling the kit it would look great on my 500r

Lets not turn this into a classifieds ad fellas. If you wish to buy Mike's tank kit I'd reccomend you PM him directly

Mike, I say put the kit in a box up in the closet...quit your bitchin' and pony up the bread for the parts you want. I don't want to have to listen to you belly ache about you lost your short track kit due to a hasty decision over a few bucks. Hell, we spend that in a weekend out having a good time! To X-basket, for one the tank is too small to run around the parking lot more than a few times on a 250r, so I would say it would be just about completely useless for a 500r, looks pretty cool though. just my .02.

instead of selling it
how about we have a trade?
i propose to use your tank until you need it again haha just call me up
you can also have my girlfriend as collateral if you wish

nah seriously i would keep it

Well I guess I agree with you Sam, and everybody else. Sam knows what a pain in the ass this tank is for how we ride. BUT I always wanted one, and now I have a really nice one, I will always *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* and cry about the tank if I sold it. I would kick my own but when I see how much they will be selling for in a few years. I do piss money away on stupid stuff. So I guess I will have a $600 box in the closet. Well I just realized I guess I do piss money away. I am reading my own post here and I just admitted to spending a bunch of money on a useless gas tank kit that I am not even going to use. Now if i can only remember what that money was supposed to be used for.............
