Monster wanted!

[sparkymark]

Hi all,

just joined, looking for a 600/750 area Monster, preferably dahn sarf, any thoughts/advice do share!

One thing I've already encountered is the leaking tank syndrome - how easy is this (generally) to bodge/weld/etc, or do you often have to buy a new tank?

Cheers for now,

Sparky

ive only managed to solder the joint myself just couldnt get on with brazeing, i found it all very annoying , a second hand tank is around the 100 mark though most of em on ebay have dents in them from where the bars hit (in the event of a drop/crash)

Yes, brazing the tank sounds a pain! Thanks for the info - I notice there's a few tanks on ebay for near the 400quid mark... Thought that was a bit adventurous!

Rather than spend several hundred squid on a new tank MPS do a tank sealant for about £15. Worked a treat for me on a modified Harley tank, didn't leak at all.

i brazed two tanks myself... not that difficult ! the hardest bit was to get it slowly to temperature.. that took a good 10mins.. the rest was easy enough.
and i should mention that the last time i brazed anything was 20 years ago, at college !

I silver soldered mine and did all the joints round the mounting plate.

Not had a problem since.

Got the solder from here:
