No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationWell that's odd.
Came though on an auto search I have for 'tank' items, but you're right it's not there anymore. Guess it's been snapped up  : (
Shame as it wasn't yellowed at all, just a bit of internal dirt but cleanest I've seen.
At least we can assume it's gone to a 'deserving' home!

While I was looking there are a couple of others, albeit more cost and of course shipping if you're US;

Grubby / Oily but plastics look OK and you get a free 40yr old rubber tube, yipee:


Netherlands, bit pricier - think it's the one you mentioned:


Yellowed, with extra yellowness:



Sorry about the false-hope folks...

I see you tried to add a link but the site software wouldn't accept a "cut" and "copy". I also struggled with this for a long time till I figured it out.

How to add a link on this site - 
The 9th tool in the tool bar at the top of the new post page is the link tool. 
First open up a new tab in your browser and find the page you want to link and right click copy that  site address.
Then open up the KZ1300.com new post page and click open the link tool.
Right click paste the address you wanted to link in the "URL" box and
Then add the verbal description in the upper box.
Then click the " insert link" button.

It's the only way Kunena the KZ1300.com web page software will accept the EBay links  Not sure why. It just is.

Ah sorry, had no idea, the paste appears fine whilst the new post page is still in edit mode.

Thanks Kawboy will try to update.

RChalonerI hope I'll be spared being called a teasing jerk, lol, I just want to forward a message of hope.
If you keep checking eBay, things come up at great prices from time to time. I managed to buy a perfectly solid tank and cover for $15 - there were no other bids! 
The tank I had was really brittle where the cover window is, you could never see the fluid level and it would deteriorate anyway. So, I gave it a shot at repairing it. I cut off that damaged part and bonded a clear piece of acrylic in place with JB Weld. It looks fantastic under the cover, and I'll be using it on the bike for now. The other one off eBay I'm  keeping for it's condition and stock originality. And it has a much nicer cup anyway, so I'm already using it. 

Maybe yours is also salvageable? In the meantime, I will keep an eye on the sources and if I see a tank available I will let you know.
