Roadster tank info????

Hi was wondering if roadster tanks are all the same??? 750 and 850 :?:

also was wondering if those tanks made in india are quality?????

Nope,

They had fiberglass 2.25 gallon, and at least 2 types of the larger Steel tanks.

The original steel tanks had the filler cap hinge to the rear, on the f/glass tanks the cap hinge is at the front.

India/ England same place these days isn't it?

last I heard London and Pakistan were one in the same :mrgreen:

SO with that being said do you guys think I should give them a try??? Any advice would be appreciated.............

I believe others have,with reasonable results

I have painted many Roadster tanks in the last few years. Aside from fiberglass, I have run across three different style steel Roadster tanks. Although at first glance they seem the same.
One of course has the metal bead that extends out about 1/4" all the way around the tank, the second does not have this bead. But the third variation seems larger overall. It is most noticeable when looking at the front of the tank and down the tunnel, the inner sides are vertical. However, in this third style, the inner sides are more angled and overall the tank just looks bigger. I have pics of the two side by side.
As for the Indian and Pakistani tanks, I have painted both. I'd say the Indian made is the lesser of two evils. The quality seems to have improved some in the last year. I have pics of all the variations and the Indian tank painted that I can post if you like.
