Going back to the original post, if money is not a problem there are companies that advertise in the classic magazines who restore tanks back to original new condition but they are expensive the last I heard was that to take out dents rechrome and repaint you are looking at a cost in excess of £500 depending on amount of work required. I mtself on my A65 have an Indian made tank fitted but it did not come without problems nothing major but did require some work. The center hle for fiting the tank was slightly out of position so I had to realigm the chrome strips the hole itself was too tight afit so had to be ground slightly bigger . The holes for fixing the knee grips were in the wrong position so I had to modify them tofit. The petrol tap bosses were in the wrong position they were in the position for twin carb models not my single carb model so had to make new petrol pipes to suit. I also had to respray the tank as I could not get one the correct colour, but the tank has been on the bike now for about 3 years with no other problems. I di seal it with POR15 which I can recommend.
