Thanks, I have another set for the 'small' tank that I'll be using, the ones from the big tank are being kept for a different purpose entirely.....

RW brake discs for the RH are probably the main thing in terms of priorities, ATM.   Rear mudguard on 'the mess' has been bent at some point and crimped one edge.    It's usable as is but I'll be keeping an eye out for a good replacement.   Of course if someone wants to offer me a whole bike for this obviously extremely rare and highly collectible fuel tank I'd consider it  8) ;D

Are you using a 16 litre RH fuel tank instead?
Fuel taps are different.
I bought a brand new tank last year for $300.
I bought a couple of used tanks recently from a wrecker. (standard and RH) for between $100 to $150 each. Probably the same condition as yours.
What RH parts are you chasing?

I won't be using the 'big' tank that came on the RH I bought last year, so maybe someone here might be interested.   Photos attached.

No major dings but has scratches in the paint.    Paint job is pretty average and and was probably originally maroon or red, but no bog that I can find using a fridge magnet or tap test.   No rust holes and I've tried to get a photo inside via the filler hole.     No fuel taps (I'll need them) but the level sender is there.     Chrome on the fuel flap and surround trim is a bit deteriorated in places, but overall not bad.   There is a key and it works, however the lock is a bit stiff.

I have a box that I can put it in for shipping, but buyer pays post cost.

I have no real idea what it's worth, but I expect they aren't all that common.

Will swap for useful parts, eg roadworthy RH brake discs.
