RARE FIND
« on: July 05, 2011, 06:35:10 pm »
What am i offered for these barn find tanks...i believe they are off 1981 YZ 465 and 50 H models. Don`t tell YZ250H. He will push the price too high.

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

They look like they've been painted... more than likely the paint will bubble if that's the case.

Hard to tell from those pics but if you can paint them and they don't peel even with fuel in them then all I can say is good job.
