Above is a picture of my bike and the fuel tank has previously been repaired by the previous owners. The entire bottom of the tank that is panted white has some sort of epoxy/seal all on it as does the underside of the tank. Yesterday on my ride into work before getting on the bike i notice a smell of gas in my garage and i pulled my bike out and didn't really notice anything i just figured one of the gas jugs had been left open. On my way home from work though i noticed a fairly steady drip coming from under my tank and sure enough when i got home it was leaking from an area that was previously patched up. I scrapped off the patch hoping to find a pin sized hole however it was more like the size of a dime.

Looking for a clean gas tank preferably one that matches the color scheme but not required im willing to paint it if i must. PM me shipping cost to 12590. Thanks

if you end up deciding to repair it. This was not too involved. It takes a lot of time but just in case you decide to fix it yourself.
