  1. stmdabber and kanur, Thanks for the replys, and mentioning about the fuel and fiberglass problems. I have 10 bikes that I either ride or race, so I've become all too familiar with the issues with Ethanol fuel clogging jets and/or eating the fiberglass tank. The two local airports in my area require you to show proof of ownership of an airplane before they will sell you aviation fuel, so since I don't any airplanes lying around, I started using Sunoco Racing fuel in all of my bikes, and have not had any problems since. It's pretty expensive (over $6.00 a gallon), but it sure does beat tearing a carburetor apart to clean it everytime you want to go riding. I have 3 Pentons that I race, and even though I now use race fuel exclusively, just to be safe I coated the inside of the fiberglass tanks with POR15, and have not had any problems with the them leaking. Regards, Gary
  2. Hello, I've owed a modern trials bike for a few years now, but just recently got bitten by the "Twin Shock" bug. I bought a '76 TY175, and the stock tank is dented and has a lot of rust inside, so I was thinking about purchasing a fiberglass tank to replace it with. I've seen the tank/seat unit that Sammy Miller sells, but I was wanting something a little different. So, my question is; can anyone tell me if the tank/seat unit that Yamaha-Majesty.com sells to fit the Mini Majesty and 200 Majesty frames, will fit a production model frame? I have the tools and abilty to modify the frame if need be. Thanks, Gary
