Hi, and thanks for the add - new here and looking for some much needed help.
Late 2018 we bought a 0-mileage Dominator Naked in Germany. We arranged for shipping back home to Norway, but the transport company managed to place the new (bare aluminum) bike on an open trailer through salted european roads. To make matters worse, it arrived here on christmas and was left covered in salt for nearly two weeks before we were allowed to pick her up. Suffice to say, the bike was ruined. The transport company'e insurance company has been a total pain in the a**, and we are now fead up and will proceed with the repair work regardless of the insurance.
Of course, to add injury to insult, Norton went on to go bankrupt so now we need help/tips sourcing parts. I'll post a complete list of parts wanted when it is ready, but for now we really need help sourcing a new tank. I'm guessing we'll need to have a new one made, so ANY tips to where such a tank can be made to original specs is very much appreciated.
I've attached images - it may not look as bad as I've described, but bear in mind that it was brand new and unblemished when it left germany. Thanks in advance, guys!
