RE: tank shots
Hey mudpuddle, great tank shot ... I got a tank just like that one, even looked lust like that last year early on after a wax job ... and then, the clear coat started shedding .. flaking off like an egg shell .. I took it to the Harley Dealer here in London .. they said tough luck, I went to their Paint guy and he asked me when Harley was sending me a new tank, he called it delamination and said the clear coat did not bond to the base coat, said if I leave it the coat will keep right on cracking and peeling off all on it's own from the wind alone. I have since returned to the dealer and they are going to send pics off to Harley to see if they will accept any responsibility for it, ... the bike is still under warranty and several years of extended warranty left ... their paint guy has told me thast the primer must have been applied to the tank before the base coat was properly cured ... this caused the two coats to cure without bonding to one another ... causing the egg shell I currently have shining on my tank ... that is where it has not fallen off ...
... has anyone out there experienced problems with a simple chip turing into the clear coat literally popping right off in chunks ... like it is an egg shell on top of the tank and not adheared to the tank at all???
.. if anyone has had any simular Harley paint problems please email me what happened ... jerryf@beer.com ....

Here's another very rare oldie I thought I'd share.I was down at my buddy's shop today.
He wanted some pics of his bikes for a magazine.
Here's shot of his original 1983 XR1000. He bought it new. It only has 7300 miles on it.

Below, a pic of a friends XR. The tank on this one is rather small.
This one goes real fast. If I remember correctly, 160 some odd MPH.

RE: tank shots
While I'm at it, a couple more shots from the same day at Tommy's shop.
First an oldie. I found this machine in an old barn about 25 years ago.
Tommy restored it to showroom condition.
Yeah he rides it now and then.
Next, a showbike/rider he built 35 years ago.
Another XR in the foreground.
This tank and fender is the model for the pieces I am building for my 06.
