Re: NC30 carbon tank
Not sure about that
Carbon all the 'hard work' is in making the mould
With ally each one would have to be hand made.
Even with an ally tank I'd still want it upgraded

Re: NC30 carbon tank
I second this I would definitely be up for one of this was the case. Having a std tank modded for twin fillers just now but carbon oversized would be far betterTimon wrote:Id be more willing to pay the money for a carbon tank if it was 'upgraded',
oversize for endurance, dual filler, sealing face to frame for open carbs etc etc.

Re: NC30 carbon tank
all our other tanks are bigger than standard so this would be a bit larger than standard but not looking to seal it to the frame or have twin fillers fittedYakama wrote:I second this I would definitely be up for one of this was the case.

Re: NC30 carbon tank
Was quoted around £700 for one last year, and that was oversize with twin fillers but plus the cost of the filler caps.Gavin jap4 wrote:last time I checked about alloy ones I got quoted £1500.00 and no discountDrunkn Munky wrote:Id rather an alloy tank than carbon and really cant see you getting 5/6 orders in for it.
