    I had some electrical problems on the way home from work last week and ended up having to leave my bike on the side of the road for about 45 minutes while I went to get a trailer to float it home. Got it home, sorted out the electrical issue and everything is working as it should.

    However, when I walked up to the bike to pick it up, I noticed some chipped paint on the corners of the tank that go down to the seat. Both sides. After I got it running, I took a closer look at the damage and it looks like while it was sitting at the side of the road, somebody sat on the tank and buckled the top of it, which caused the paint to flake off at the back.

    Just checking on here to see if anyone has or knows of a gas tank for a 5th gen that I could buy. Red would be ideal, but in good shape is more important than colour. I may be able to cover the chips with a tank bra, but I would prefer a sound tank if possible.
