    Long story short. Rushed to swap out my rear tire and dropped my bike right on a jack stand. So does anyone have a early 80’s secca gas tank kicking around? I’m not looking to chase/repair pinholes. I’m mostly looking for something i can repaint, mount and go.

    @Simmy has one for sale. He’s in Canada but might be worth it.

    We were.... but not because it’s a 650r tank—we were, because it ISN’T a 650r tank.

    I also need a tank for my 550 Seca, see any "extras" out there? I know, rare as hen's teeth.

    Wow, looking at the photo of your damaged tank! Good thing that wasn't an armor piercing bullet! ;) Did you find a good replacement yet?
