That's a lot of good bikes that have been dismantled to get a tank collection that size!

I bought the Jemco downpipe on my flat tracker from Mark Harris and he was more than accomodating in cutting the pipe into 3 pieces and getting me the best shipping deal. I've got no problems with Mark but apparently he's upset a few on Marks Swapmeet to the point that he's been banned from the site.

He was offering a service restoring plastic tanks for around $100 plus shipping. I was going to risk him doing my IT250 tank but I've never got around to it.

Wrong bloke Leith Arizona Mike and Mark Harris are two different fella's despite living in the same state.
Slakewell said his name is Mark. ;)

His name is Mark Anthony Palermo from Arizona (AZMAP) and he is a regular ebayer. I've purchased from him before with no drama's. He can be a bit slow on email replies sometimes. He's been around awhile.
WANTED. Canams;all models,complete or parts.SWM stuff too!

You're right Can-Am, I checked my files and it's not Mark Harris. What had me convinced was 1: Arizona and 2: he deals almost exclusively in tanks. Sorry for the misdirections Mick ;D

Mark Palermo seems to be OK but he's been flogging the same couple of swingarms on Marks Swapmeet for months with no takers. My old friend Vegas Bob Neilson wouldn't deal with him and told me to watch him.....don't know why though ???.
