NOS is a disease that can be terminal to your bank account and we should pity the sufferers. ;D

I suppose the NOS tank is cool if you're building a 100 point concourse show bike and money is no object but for a poor boy like me the same model tank shown below will do me for $102. It arrived a couple of weeks ago and it's as straight as an arrow bar one tiny ding that'll easily fix. I also picked up the B44 Victor tank (also below) for $128 in the same week as someone paid $450 for a shiny one. Same story as the B50 item, under the crap rattle can paint it's only got a couple of tiny dents and it's absolutely bog free. Both tanks will be de-dinged, polished, stickered up and nobody will know the difference from the big money ones.

Well done Firko.  You have obviously been rewarded for your perseverance and research.  It's a great feeling when you jag things like that.  8)  That tank is crazy money, but I suppose they aren't making them anymore.

It always depends on who you are bidding against ..... if Tom White or Tom Cruise or even Craig Taylor  is doing a minter NOS B50MX there is not much left over for us little guys.

I have a buddy who just got a shit rebuild on TT500 tank that paid as much finally as the NOS BSA tank so it can make sense I guess.

NOS anything desirable has a pretty much name your own price factor ..... I know of NOS XY Falcon bonnet spring that just went for $500
