Jedz .. I think the tank I bought from these German guys is the same tank.. Al and welded. There were some payment issues with the German guys but it should be on its way today or tomorrow. It does look like a tough job, but like a lot of guys I really like the bike it is just the range.. It has been hot as hell as you know [I'm in NJ, saw you are in VT] so I would not have done it this past week anyway. And, when I start it I want to finish in a couple of days or I won't remember where half the shit goes. :-(
I have NO intention of trying to do this in 1 day.. You really cranked 5 Hrs.. amazing. I figured that long to get it apart. I think it was great that you took a video.. My guy sent some hand drawn pics of some plastic that needs to be cut as well. The drawings really suck, but I did find another site that had some decent pics of what they did.
My 2009 has almost 50K miles.. Yes, should have done this long ago.. Just hope there are not too many frozen cruddy bolts..
If I get into trouble I'll post something and maybe you can help...
BTW.. did you just do this in the past couple of weeks?? Looks like it..
THANKS !
