Having restored a couple of those tanks, his price is not that far off the mark.....the correct brush finish on the sides and the front of those tanks is very hard to replicate.....you need a good donor tank with no pitting or heavy marks in it to start with. They are not a nice tank to cut open for panelbeating. I have seen NOS ones go for 2.5K easy, he charges upwards of 1.5K plus to restore one (that's part of Joe's business)...I would not even look at one for under 1K anymore....they are a crap tank and the original welding looks like it was done by a drunk 8 year old. If you where building a concourse bike you need a tank like that.

I think it's worth it all day long
A brand new tank turns a $5k good bike into a
$10k glamour
I have a NFS NOS 125 tank that I would value at $2.5k and it's steel
And much easier to repair than the 250.

Once it's FITTED to a bike it can not be called NOS and will be correctly called used
He can keep it at that price, as I'll dent it up first ride out.

He reckons he's trying to make them larger. I'll almost guarantee he don't do it in 1 day and 14 hours
