Acerbis gas tank for NX 500/650 Dominator 92-03

[switch]

Hey guys!

First of, this is not a sale thread or anything.

A group of italian folk have talked Acerbis into making a limited number of Acerbis 23L gas tanks for the Dominator. If you try to get one now, they're virtually impossible to find new (no supplier ever stocked them and mass production ended last year) and damn hard to get even used. Also the price is incredibly high (saw one go for 170euro on ebay, used).

The only condition from Acerbis is that at least 12 units are ordered. So far the guys made a list here:
Honda Dominator - GDA Serbatoio Maggiorato Acerbis 23L
...and also advertised the group buy on ADVRider:
BUYING GROUP FOR ACERBIS 23 liter (6.075 gallons) FUEL TANK FOR HONDA NX650 - ADVrider


Long story short: gas tanks will be available for about 180euro/piece, not including transport costs from Italy. They're only available for 92-95 or 96-03 models, and will be either black or white (majority decides).

If you guys want to chip in on the sale, feel free to post here, contact me or anyone else on that buying list.



I really hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this here; I only want to help the community by advertising this rare opportunity.

Damn! Just gone and taken a punt with a `92 Dommie tank to see what the fitting is like on the `93 model. If it doesn`t work then I`ll be in one the deal....saying that I haven`t missed the cut-off point.

Sorry, what was that about the punt? And that cut-off point?

I apologize but I'm finding it a bit hard to understand what you were trying to say

[Mart]

Sorry Switch!

I`ve just taken a chance and bought a `92 tank to see if I can get it to fit my `93 bike.

If it does not fit then I will try and get one through your link just so long as I don`t run out of time.

Thanks for posting it by the way

Have you tried lookingh at the CLARKE GAS TANKS WEBSITE. I have a 3.8 gallon tank on my xr and it's the same quality as Acerbis and IMF for half the price

Well, the offer won't run out just yet. The 93 tank will however fit a 92 dommie and vice-versa, so I guess you're good there

EDIT: @jasonbc: thanks for the tip, but Clarke doesn't do tanks for the NX series.

The `92 tank arrived yesterday but as I thought, it won`t fit. The tank goes in fine but the lower fairing mount is out of position.

Think I`ll be going to that Italian forum!

[Mart]

Switch, I`m in mate!

i`ll post on the Italian forum but need a `92 in either colour (going to be sprayed red anyway).

Mind you, acerbis tanks can't be painted.

Acerbis use a type of plastic that "breathes" or something like that, which basically means stickers and/or paint won't stay on it for very long and it'll all end up looking horrid if you try. Many have tried before, many have come to the same conclusion.

They're otherwise fine petrol tanks, but you're going to be stuck with whatever colour the plastic is.
