    Hi
    My 87 510 TE tank split in several places on the test ride following a major restoration. This is the first Acerbis tank that has done that to me but I have heard of it happening before. Can anyone help me out with a tank for this bike? The 86 air cooled and the 87 water cooled models use the same tank.

    Thanks Steve

    Hi Michel.
    New or used OK. I just need a tank. I use white perforated decal to cover the tank so it looks good even if stained brown underneath. The split tank is a real pain as its stopping me running the bike in and riding it. Cheers Steve

    Hi Steve,
    I have a used '86 510 tank with cap and petcock I'd be willing to part with. PM me.
    We had to go thru 3 tanks before we found one that was usable. They are hard to find in semi-good condition.
