Hard one to review: great tank, great fit, paint so-so
Ok this review is in a few sections: Shape: The tank is an excellent copy of the original tank. Very happy with that aspect. Fit: It fits the bike perfectly and all the parts fit on it fine as well. Its a well executed copy for sure. Paint: This is where it goes off the rails a bit. This is a A$260ish paint job so its hard to be too picky i guess? Anyway... Its what a local high quality paint shop called 'an 80% job'. Its ok, but there are some marks in the clear and its a bit orange peely. The painted 'decal stripes' are well done and it looks good from a few paces. Colour: Its not OEM. The maroon should be much more red and the white pearl is very 'champagne'. I kinda like it, but it not the clean bright version you might expect. Delivery: It got damaged on the underside edge of the seam during the shipping as the box was only the one used for a tank in primer and very little extra packing was used, this is rare for a part from Japan to be honest. Sadly, I didnt notice this until almost a year was passed and i went to use it so i was stuck with the problem. I did ask the company who did the paint (using the webike message service) for information about the paint in the hope of having some mixed locally and theyt refused to share that information. This was very dissapointing as i am left with a tank with a 10c piece sized chip from its lower seam and a bad taste in my mouth. Summary: the paint is A$260 and you get what you pay for, the base tank is excellent. View detail
