Hi guys
I know you have probably had this question before but these Indian tanks for A65 are they any good

All I can tell you is that I have had three tanks from India but not for an A65. Two for B33 one for Shooting Star. All very good.

I wanted  a tank for my Thunderbolt decided I liked the Lightening type ( scalloped sides) purchased one from India delivery a bit slow but now its here very pleased. Now the small print : I have heard that quality varies widely also the advice I got was bargain a bit and get it raw steel. As I say I am pleased as it fits and is solid.
Regards Jim

I just bought a B31 tank from royal choppers and I'm very pleased with it. It's an early tank with the speedo in it, chromed, with matt silver panels lined black.

My advice would be to contact the seller and have him send you pictures with all the important measurements - position of brackets, emblems etc. I then checked this against an original tank. I think one can get a good tank, but one does have to talk to the seller and check everything first to avoid disappointments. Make sure you are getting what you want. Also would advise to avoid any inside liner. If one really wants to line the insides, then better to do it at home.

Mine came very well done and fits perfectly.

I got a RGS style one fot the A10. Arrived in a couple of weeks all painted and with cap. Cost less (including postage) than what I paid 10 years previously just to have one chromed.  Very pleased.
