I'm looking at getting a white Clarke tank due to the tank being dented on this 350x I traded for. I was just curious if the gas would stain it and be noticeable like some race tanks I've seen? Thanks guys

I think it all depends on how long you let gas sit in there and get old and stale. If the bike is ridden often and always has fresh gas in it the tank should stay white longer, but if some nasty gas sits in there for a while, it will probably turn pretty quick.

Looks good it needs plastics and I was thing white tank and white fenders with red headlight and scoops. Thinking it'll be sharp. Would like to find some headlight Louvers like on that one at the top of the page. Haha I'll post some pics of it how it looks now.

yes the white tanks will yellow over time. There is no way around it.
