In July 2017 I found a new graphics supplier with better quality, faster speed (max 2 days) and cheaper prices so I dropped the old supplier and all the prices. Relish! The tank stickers have a white outline which separates them from an orange body. Tail and fork guards use a black outline. There is a gold outline around the USA stickers.
The shape shown is SXR but I have them for XRX stock tanks.
Don’t use it, ever. Always use premium non-ethanol. Ethanol is junk and causes all kinds of carb, engine, and fiberglass tank problems. Ethanol eats the resin from inside of fiberglass tanks. It dilutes resin into a solution which mixes with your tank’s gas. When the bike sits for any time longer than a month or two, the resin solidifies in your carb and valve components. Carbs are easy to clean but if it gets into the valve seals etc., engine disassembly is needed. Not cheap!
Until 2021 we kept changing coatings to get the best anti-ethanol sealer for our fiberglass tanks. Prior to that date, we used at least 5 different coatings. None of them worked long term despite claims from the chemical makers. The one exception was/is Caswell epoxy coatings. I dropped it because the application process was so lengthy. I now use an anti-ethanol resin with no warranty claims at all.
I get maybe three tanks a year for leaking and surface problems caused by pre-Caswell sealants. Even though they are long past the warranty period, I fix leaks for free but charge for shipping.
If you tank’s surface is lumpy, has grown mumps and looks awful, I have a solution. Send your tank back.
The cost is $295 which is less than half the cost of a new tank. Graphics and return shipping (about $45) are extra. But there is a kicker--you have to promise not to use ethanol fuel. Ever.
If your town offers ethanol free premium fuel, use it even if you have one of my new tanks. Yes, it’s more expensive but it is better for your engine and tank.
If your local stations don’t offer ethanol-free gas by law, you have two options:
Here’s simple fix that's cheaper, long term, than the cost of high octane premium-non-ethanol gas (where it’s available). The ratio is one gallon gas to one cup of water. See my DIY how-to.
