Hi Frank,
Would love to see the SDR's
Will keep an eye out for you, you never know what turns up.
I think I remember seeing reproduction ones on SDR200.com Japanese site - they were seriously expensive - about 600 quid I think.
Best of luck with em!

Frank,
These are the aluminium "Beater" fuel tanks which SDR200.com sells: http://www.sdr200.com/?pid=35019085
You can also buy them direct from the maker, but the price is about the same (http://beater-japan.com/?cat=63). I have dealt with Yasuhiro Tanaka (proprietor of SDR200.com) on several occasions and had no problems, so it should be easy enough for you if you decide to go that way.
I was in the same boat as you are, as my SDR also came without a fuel tank. However, with patience and perseverance on Yahoo Auctions, I now have two tanks - both in "solid" condition (i.e. not rusted through). Even with today's rising prices, you should be able to obtain a solid usable tank for less than 25000Yen. NOS tanks do crop up from time to time, but the final bid prices usually end up near (or over) 100000Yen.
I don't want to sell my spare tank, but if you need any more info, please let me know!
Regards,
James
EDIT: To periodically search Yahoo Auctions, you can use the following link for SDR fuel-tank-related stuff: http://auctions.search.yahoo.co.jp/search;_ylt=A7dPDi0hdMtYTUEAX2dAPDh8;_ylu=X3oDMTBiNzloa3JsBHZ0aWQDanBjMDAx?p=sdr&aq=-1&oq=&x=0&y=0&fixed=0&ei=UTF-8&slider=0&tab_ex=commerce&auccat=2084016531
However, also carry out a general search (http://auctions.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?auccat=&tab_ex=commerce&ei=utf-8&aq=-1&oq=&sc_i=&fr=auc_top&p=sdr200&x=0&y=0&fixed=0) to cover anything which may be listed in the wrong category! |

I picked both bikes up at the weekend & the painted bodywork today so now I have 1 good one with 5k on the clock & the other on missing tank and seat its not too bad but will perhaps be used as a spares bike or a parts trade model
If it ever stops raining I will post some photos
im getting it registered/taxed tomorrow so as soon as roads are dry it will be test time |
