That strange tank and seat combo.

Hi Dave, Daniel, Mark, Hello Carolina, here’s the pics… Iphone is not that good, so I’ll xplain below.

TANK:
can be described as tip top shape. Is fiberglass but light. Some hairlines cracks in the top of tank surface, inside clean (still a bit of oil in it, underneath is as new, tank cap is dented (of course). I don’t know what it is off. Will fit A/B frame like my racer no prob, will require frame amendments if you use a C/D like the blue bike (tank rear mounting points tits need to be ground down. One v small nick at the front (frame down tube… no prob)

Front mounts fit the std RD arrangements (2 bungs). RD tap fitted… So up for grabs. Good piece of kit and deffo not seen as often as an Airtech one.

SEAT:
Has had a racing life. 1st pic from below, you’re seeing the RH side crack. That’s the most important and need some Fglass to it a there is a gap and some tension there. LH side has a small crack and there is the usual hairlines on the top. It’s all very repairable and comes with the nifty seat brackets the guy had done in alloy (one of them bent… guess the side). Alloy fasteners and spacers included.

SHOCKS:
strange double spring entrapments, with “RC-10 HD” Damping force: Ten: 140kg / 0.5 m/s  Comp: 27kg / 1.0 m/s” and the all-important “Made in Japan”. All on the body sticker. Somebody tell me if it’s a piece of unobtainium. Rust spots on upper prtion of shafts sadly, but they seem to be out of the travel of the shafts (I can see where the wear marks stop ie chrome is slightly duller on travel path) still, they need a repaint and a bit of work at the minimum. 5-way adjustable, too.

Rearsets plates and pegs I wiil probably get a use for them… so not up for grabs.
Need to check if std throttle will work with the 34 carbs  as the guy made an alloy distributer.
Throttle is a Domino, not magura 1/4 turn. Italy means “racing”, so could be worth something to one of ya.

Click on the pics for Blow-ups and leave me a comment in the box below the post… At least I receive those and yours are likely not be about Viagra.
