    This is a picture I took of Oblucki's 125 at the WEC round in Canada in 2006. Does anyone know who made the tank?

    I heard someone on the east coast used to make carbon fiber stuff but I'm not sure. Lindsay P..... does that ring a bell?

    Did he make the one for Oblucki or were you just telling me the name of the guy that makes them in the US?

    I heard he sold all of his molds and doesn't make tanks anymore? I'll give him a call and see what he says.

    Got any more pics of his bike? That is a strange looking front brake Master Cylinder. It looks to me that it is curved, maybe so it is easier to bleed.

    P3 might have made that tank, but I think it came out of Italy.

    As I posted in the "GMX hose" thread, you might be better off trying to hook up with a dealer over there, or even CH Racing. ZUPIN in Germany also seems to be pretty high end.

    There are also these guys in Italy, http://www.crmcompositi.com/Huskvoffroad.htm
    They make some CF stuff for Huskies already and I think they may have been the ones who made that 125 tank.

    I think you are right it doesn't look like a P3 tank.

    Thanks for the other info.

    Pirie made the CF tanks for Husky US off road team in 2000 before IMS tanks were availible. Fred Hoess ran them on his 2 strokes.

    Yes he did. Here's one of those tanks. This was FBF's entry into the GNCC's. The riders name escapes me right now ( Joel or something, big time eastern hotshoe, Norm you should know ).

    He may have made that 2006 tank above but, for some reason I'm thinking they came from Italy.

    Duane Conner? He was the one I remember but was racing a 250 I think.
