GRRRR. This bike hates me I swear, and I haven't even ridden it yet. I was looking around, moving the tank back out of the way to scope out the carbs for checking the balance, and of course I knocked the gas tank over. My pristine candy red tank is now scratched to hell with several good sized chips and scratches all along the ridged edges. Also have a nice dent in the front lip. Stupid stupid stupid.
It could be worse.

Sorry to hear about your tank.
-Turd.
Ah well, doesn't look too bad from far away, but it'll drive me crazy. Another fun project for my list :) I suspect finding a spray can of a matching color may be a challenge though... The rest of the painted parts are in good shape and I'd rather not repaint them as well.
I knocked my tank over too when I was cleaning out all the rust and other crap that was in there. (3 good sized stones and a huge chunk of something. :dunno_white:) Put a few more scratches on it and chipped some paint. But it still looks alright, from 10 feet. Eh, what're you gonna do. Chit happens.

Must be an ohio thing :)
We'll have to have a tank painting party next year, after we're pretty sure no more maintenance is required for a while...

must be :laugh:
I didn't know maintenance ever stopped, atleast with bikes that I own. They always need it. :icon_rolleyes:
My paint would be super hard to find, I have that a '96 that has black base with blue flake. That would be a rare can a spray paint. :laugh:
