If they can offer a 2 year written guarantee against problems with ethanol fuels, well worth looking at. Anyone that cant maybe best avoided.

2 year warranty ??
Think a 22 year warranty is still on the short side. ?

Early Fastbacks have now been around for 44 years, and I see Norvil are selling some tanks said to be NOS (New Old Stock). Does that mean they've been on a shelf somewhere for 40+ years...

Is this the tank seat you were thinking of ?

Looks as sexy as fuk-me-high-heels on women but boy howdy I sure don't like the feeling in my seat after a hour or so on the essentially unpaded Corbon planks.

Sexy as, I reakon.
Yes Rohan that's the one.
I agree, a bit more padding would be good.
I like the owners bike with the Gold annodised SUN rims.
Very sweet.
