200x oem red fuel tank?

[Sick200x]

I just picked up a new (used) fuel tank for my '85 200x. Only thing is...it's red. It's not been painted either, bolts right up too. I've never seen any pics of a red tank 200x? just wondering if anyone else has ever seen one/heard of one? It's not a plastic aftermarket either. Metal tank, exactly the same as the white ones, only red.

Doesn't answer your question but my 200X came with a spare black tank. Just like the other one but black.

its been painted, sorry to say someone could of stripped it and redid it correctly, if not someone thew on some kinda old R tank. post a pic.

I'll try to get some pics up soon. If it was painted, they did one heck of a good job, even under the side shrouds and the underside of it.
The black tank must've been painted, no way they would make a black one to go with red (or white) plastics. This red one with red plastics looks really good though, that's why I think it was OEM, but like I said, never seen another one.

none were red, i had syko on this site redo one of my 200x tanks years ago, it looked like OEM, so fresh so clean. its not hard to paint these things correctly, just alot of people who oen them dont give a crap and destory these things by spray boming everything
