that's a carbon fiber tank? if it is love the negative style paint job. leave the carbon show through on the details is a nice touch.

Capo

Yes its a carbon fibre tank. The guy did a good job, you cant feel any line where the CF meets the paint.

That'll go really well with my new Retro Corsa helmet, and my birthday is right around the corner.



Seriously, tho, very nice.  [thumbsup]

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Stunning!!

a few bits of advice from one carbon owner to another..   
1) caswell coating for the inside is a must!
2) if the tank was used, check the hinge for cracks
3) NEVER lift the tank with any gas in it (hinges on these are weak)


Absolutely gorgeous paint job!  Cant wait to see it on the bike
If you love your bike, set it free.
If it comes back to you, you've
probably high-sided.

I have always been a blue fan myself.  :P  Couldn't help myself.  Your tank looks awesome.
Are you getting matching fairings too?
