Come on people get your wallets open and support an English business, this product is going to be AWESOME, and thus why I have put myself out putting in over 400 miles to see this take off.

Tony and Michelle are dedicated and keen to provide us with a superior and quality product- Made in England.
Each tank will be an exact replica of each other, no variables, so quality is paramount with Tony.
Previous endeavours include work for Harris Race Team to name drop just one company.

Having looked over the workshop, drank copious cups of coffee and chewed the fat about concerns and requests for tank design mods.

We have fitted both tanks to my bike, to put to rest the potential shrinkage issue for donor pattern tanks.

Tony has been left with the rear tank fixing mount rubber and tube sleeve, fixing plates (both types), pingel petcock, oem outer ring and flush filler cap and vent

TopGumm sent down a small tank and dare I say a oem petcock (was that fire damaged?lOl)

I know myself, I will be embarrassed to paint the finished article, but hey them's the breaks and I did advise Tony his hard work will end up enveloped in Paint.

Hell, this might even bring Howard out of retirement and start repainting Buell's again lOl

Polished ally is lovelly, and not as hard work to keep looking good as most people think.

Love the look of that tank. I have an x1 and as you know tank is just a cover, and as such should be easier to make. I would also think there are more x1s about, so potentially more customers?. I would be interested. Would it be possible in stainless steel ?

Hi David
I do not know too much about the other bikes, would the tanks we are making not fit?

If what you are asking is a different bike that requires a cover & there is a lot of interest then this is something that may be worth thinking about.

Tony would not be interested in making these in stainless steel.

Best regards
Michelle

Hi

UPDATE FOR ALLOY MANTA TANK

I will e-mail you individually but I just wanted to let you know the tank has been given to our guy that is going to make the mould and then we will get it back to make the tool to produce the tank.

I would be grateful if you could now send your deposits of £400 to place your order.

I have added the tank to our website so you can click to pay the deposit. I have also added a box so you can specify which cap you would like (or if you would like to use your own), and any other details you may have mentioned to us.

Before you check out, just put the shipping location to "collect" so that it will not add shipping to your total at this time. You can check out by paypal, paypal credit card (just check out as a guest and put your credit card details), send us a cheque or BACS, if you would prefer to call and I can process the order that is fine.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Michelle and Tony

Hi
I just wanted to also make clear that although we are making tooling for these tanks they will still be individually handmade but the difference with our tanks is that each tank will be the same shape and size as the original provided.

Just a thought, but I reckon the XB airbox cover could look good in aluminium :idea:
