$220 from Service Honda if I remember right.I wasn't sure. I knew somone with a honda would. :p

[3leggeddog]

thanks guys,it was really burning me i could not find one.

[Dammit!]

Honda doesn't make red ones anymore apparently. It might say passion red when you order it but it will be black when you get it. If by some miracle you get a brand new red one, you'll make a killing on ebay with it.

man i want a black one,but it looks like i will end up paying a fortune for one.i wish they would do buy it now more often on ebay.i hate the bidin game,i want what i want
and i want it now!!!!!,lol.just sell me the darn thing!!!!

[Dammit!]

The last black one I saw on there I ended up winning at the last second for like $120 I think. Reserve wasn't met though. :rolleyes:

Don't think I'll be bidding on this one though. Little low on funds right now.

[3leggeddog]

does anyone know if painting the tanks actually works?

i'm sure i'll be bidding against someone on here.how do you go about getting a new one from honda?i tried the service honda crap and didn't get anywhere.

17510-HA2-P00 Available TANK COMP,FUEL $336.47 $222.11 (edit: $336 is the retail price, $222 is service honda's price)

I'm getting better at using their site. Not the most intuitive design in the world but actually pretty powerful. I'd place the order by phone though.

I bought one from service honda--- its still shows up red on their computer. I knew passion red was discontinued. Dont argue with them just order it and it will come in black.

I've got a black one that I was going to put on ebay tomorrow. It new in the box. I was building a 500R and was going all black, decided to go with the cr500 frame and tank insted. I would want the $197.00 I paid for it.

[GreenLightening]

hey man, send me your original tank for paint. I will do it cheaper then you could buy a black tank for. The paint will hold up better then black plastic also. trust me I had a black and white raptor, that black plastic looks great new but after a few washes it gets a terrible haze to it.

3leg, jump on this NOW IMO! Cause the last one on ebay went for $275!?!?! :mad:

[Dammit!]

Actually I won the last one for exactly $129.01 but the reserve wasn't met. This one doesn't have a reserve so happy bidding. :D

[3leggeddog]

well it's brand new so i think i will be safe bidding up to 175.also i want to look into the painting side of things.how has the tanks you guys bought held out?i don't want one that is gonna fade and look like crap.my new restore is for show!!!!!

[Bigbore]

I used t work at Fay Meyer Honda in Denver and still get my discount... 15% over cost. Comes in nice when you need expensive parts, even with the not so expensive ones.

[R Nutt]

I have been into R's for a long time, and i never knew honda produced BLACK!

When did they do this?

Any other colors?

[twgranger]

You can always buy an aftermarket red one if that is the color you want.
