Just won (?) my second VX ebay bargain and am chuffed to bits. Previously I got a front wheel complete with spindle, spacer, speedo drive and a half decent continental tyre for 99p and now I've got a petrol tank for the same amount. Have to collect both bits but the wheel was only 5 miles up the road (tank's in lincolnshire).
I suspect the tank will need some corrosion repairs in the same places mine has leaked from, but I have time now to get it fuel tight properly with a bit of welding.
Totally chuffed and looking forward to a rideout to collect it.
O dear oh dear oh dear Squirel.
Starting to sound like me and my quest to purchase a second XBR in bits via eBy
As my wife said to me recently, in front of my mother-in-law I hasten to add, 'what's that pile of tubes sitting against the garage wall'?
As I explained to her it was a 'second frame for my XBR should I ever damage the original, it was an eBay bargain after all'
Sounds like your'e already on the slippery slope my friend
