Finishing my CB34 project and am thinking of trying an enduro tank from the subcontinent. Anyone had any good luck with those lately? Anything to look out for or any recommendations?

Thanks,

Kevin

It is pot luck
From what I have managed to work out it looks like the 3 people who sell on Ebay sub contract each order as it is placed ( ie no actual stock )
The individual sheetmetal workers fabricate the tanks from photos & sketches .
So the same vendor can supply a perfect tank to one customer and a total rubbish one to the next customer depending upon who they sub the actual work out to .

I don't know how prices compare, but there were some great suggestions about UK tank fabricators recently on the A65 aluminium tank thread
