    I just bought one off of Ebay last week. I just got it. Call Honda to see if you can get one.


    I'm just waiting on Aussie to help me out with the shrouds

    I'm building an 85 flat tracker in black.

    Hondas warehouses get restocked often....you can never go by just the number available the warehouses are showing on a given day!!

    Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but hopefully you are not associated with this guy....I just bought one for $179, now he's asking $279. That's rediculous. People should not manipulate the market, but I guess they do.

    By the way....watch out for this guy, the tank I received looked like it was sanded. I can buff it out with polish, but it's not OEM mint like he described (has not been used though). I doubt they come that way from Honda.

    Buyer beware....!

    I had the black tanks from honda they dont come glossy shiny..I was disappointed when I pulled mine from the bag .they do seem to have surface scratches(hard to explain) I have no ties to chaplinkawi but I have purchased some things from them in the past...they are OK up and are in the three wheeling market to make money. They find items that people think may be d/c and sell for a mark up

    The 17510-HA2-810 tank with Honda code of 2037489 had been discontinued per Honda net. In other words they dont have any in the us and no more will be shipped into the states. Bet the price goes up even more now, just like gas.

    Yup mines the same way, so is the black OEM size tank I have. They are both sort of a "matte" finish instead of a smooth gloss. Normal I guess.

    Wow thats crazy! I just checked like a wek ago on a new one and they were still available. Amazing how fast stuff goes. Well guys, those of us with Black short track tanks now definitely seem to have a rare piece!
