You may be able to get some serious coin for the 100 ann. tins, sell the tins and get yourself another set of non aniversay tins, so I hear.

BTW the tank should be one piece if Im not mistaken.

It is a one piece tank. Aren't you going to wreck the value by painting the stock tank? Seems like it would make more sense to paint a matching tank and keep the original. JMO

My '03 is one piece, that all I really know about the tank. I fill the hole on the right, the left one has a gas and charge display.
