They work...I bought one for a motorcycle a couple years back. It didnt fit exactly and the plastic kinda looked odd. Its not as good as the original but it works.

How bad fitting wise was it and what do you mean by ODD??

Odd as in not original. It faded pretty quick. Maybe it was just mine. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. Fitting wise it was slightly off kilter. It leaned to the left.

If its any help... used 200x plastic tanks pop up on Ebay frequently for 20 to 30 bucks. Fading can be stopped by hitting the tank with some cleaner wax or Mothers polish every once in awhile. :beer

Also if i do put one of these tanks on then where do the tank fenders go as there is no holes for them to screw inot the tank?

Hey Wad..... yeah, thats one of the downsides to using that tank... can't run your shrouds. I have seen older plastic tanks that were made to accept them, but I don't think they are made anymore. The only good things about running a plastic tank are no dents and no rust..... but like the other poster said... nothing looks better than a steel tank in good shape. :beer
