Who's got the blues? - Mafd2_imp - 02-14-2023
Anyone have a rare Pearl Blue 2017 up 1100?
RE: Who's got the blues? - pdedse - 02-14-2023
No, but I looked into buying that tank for my '17ex...I would love to switch out between red / blue each year. I just couldn't justify spending $1100 for it.
Samurider used to have them, but now their page is blank for all tanks for the CB1100.

I tried other Countries but there are several tank part numbers and none list the color code on them. Do you have the number?

Must have been pre-covid when I was considering buying the blue...I got a response from Samurider, so let me search old emails to see if I referenced it there.

It may be 17500MGCJG0ZA. See if this what you have?
RE: Who's got the blues? - pdedse - 02-14-2023
Actually, it looks like I asked again last September; I emailed Samurider and asked whether they still sold tanks for the 2017ex.
Here's the response that I received;
Thank you for your email.
Regarding your question, are you interested in the following gas tank that you inquired about before?
If so, we can get that, but the Honda price has increased, please see the quote below.
"2018 Honda CB1100EX Fuel tank,Blue (honda0125)",
https://www.tandem-style.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2018_HONDA_CB1100EX_Blue_73.jpg
Price: 144000 yen
Shipping: 39900 yen
Total Price: 183900 yen / approx. 1300 usd
*lead time: 1-2 weeks to be shipped,+1-2 weeks to your door.
*for a 2017 Honda CB1100EX.
So as of last September, avilable for $1300 shipped. Seeing the linked photo really makes me want to have the blue...I think it's gorgeous. I guess I could off-set the cost by selling the red, but the red is nice too. For me that's crazy money for a tank...but sometimes I think the line between loco and sanity is blurry.

Sorry, I don't have any part number to confirm the above number, just what's in the email. But contact them using the Samurider site linked here in the forums.
Just noticed that shipping...39,900 yen = $300 shipping...that's included in the $1300, but still quite steep.
RE: Who's got the blues? - Mafd2_imp - 02-14-2023
Yea it's steep but gorgeous.

Shall we ask if they'll do a "two for one" shipping?
RE: Who's got the blues? - Rocky_imp - 02-14-2023
Interesting thread. I'm glad I have the Spencer blue tank on my '14.
RE: Who's got the blues? - Tev62 - 02-14-2023
This blue tank 17500-MGC-JG0ZA can still be purchased in the UK via David Silver Spares. They quote a 5 week delivery period (direct from Japan I suspect). You just have to change over the fuel cap but that should be easy enough. Pricey but glad it exists to buy should you feel that way inclined.
