Wow...
and the price is very reasonable - especially compared to a factory tank!

Still has 8 days to go before we find what the price might be.

Sometimes if the price is too low
It makes me wonder .... 
Does it lack where the build quality is ?
Why is it so cheap? Deos it mean it is "Cheap" ?
In my travels through Motorcycle land I have learned you get what you pay for
There is already a negative feedback for a fairly new seller... the quality of build for the item is in question.
I'd say watch and see before taking the plunge

Lower price might have something to do with w/ the talented craftsmen sitting in delhi India willing to produce high quality stuff at cheaper price than an overly priced average craftsmen in a "reputed" country... ...

Low priced and from Asia? Sold!
In all seriousness, I would guess these are of fairly dubious quality. That being said, I wonder what it would take for a group to buy a number of replacement metal tanks. Certainly there are shops that can fabricate this kind of thing, and with a large enough quantity the price might not be outrageous. It would be nice to have a bike that would potentially be fine (given maintenance and care) in 20 or 30 years like the bevel drive bikes are.

Well, it's from India, so the quality will not be as good as Western examples, but it may be a source for solving SC tank issues at a very reasonable price.

What we need here is for some brave soul to ship them a SC tank and get it copied and then we can see if it is a viable proposition.
