    Well, I am trying to get the word spread around here enough to kill off any potential sales. I am also doing the youtube thing to spread the word. I will also be going on other forums this weekend to cover the MV, Ducati, Bimota, and other Aprilia boards...

    I'm sure Ed will see my threads and he can decide what, if anything he wishes to do.

    If it wasnt for your misfortune I would be laughing my ass off. These parts look ridiculous.

    well, the freebie intake is a garbage, perhaps I'll never sold one of these to anyone, broken molds..a bad story, it's only an error.
    The next tank I made, with oem shape as you desire will be free and the best you can have , and probably the last that I make.
    For all the others, think and speak bad as you want
    Forrest you'll have the selfsupporting tail
    I excuse to the forum for the bad words said since now.

    Tell us why we should believe this? Perhaps this is just a stall to keep me from spreading the word to buy time for ???

    Its always seemed strange to me that people expect top quality pre-preg carbon parts, for the same price anyone would expect to pay for rough contact moulded wet lay stuff!

    It seems strange to me that a new member would choose this thread to make their first post, to criticize people who weren't delivered what they were promised, regardless of how it was supposedly made.....

    We do not expect 100% defect free, museum quality. We expect more quality control, up front disclosure, and to not to be lied to multiple times about delivery time.Apparently, to you, that is to much to ask. Your motives for joining/posting are suspect, great way to start out here.

    Kind makes one think there may be an ulterior motive for joining, but what do I know, I've only worked with people who lie, manipulate, and try to cover their tracks for 15 years...

    I'm looking for a tank-dummy for my superbike-build with custom fuel-tank and custom air-box. If you want to get rid off it maybe I can take it off your hands. I only need a "lid" for my design, can it do that?

    /J

    Edit: I have a few spare stock tanks that could easily be cut and used as "lid"......maybe a better solution?

    It seems strange to me that people would claim their product was something it wasn't, at any price. People expect to get what they're told they're going to get.

    Is not me, and the tank is not a wet lay stuff, it's vacuum injected , wet lay stuff usually have a thick clear gelcoat on surface and an huge amount of liitle air bubble, and white cloudy on the surface, and weighs a ton, this tank weighs about 2800 g. and the tank for Scuba is not done in that way as it shown in pics posted, at least that.
