Is she ready to be photographed yet?

Tank is on it's way from Japan (with a huge discount), I hope I didn't fall prey to a bogus website. Does anybody know "japan.webike.net" as being trustworthy ?

Anyway, if all goes well I can install the tank in an hour or two. So if you're a little patient with me I 'll show you a photo in a week or two.

I visited the site and found the CB1100 area:

https://japan.webike.net/oem_parts/Moto/HONDA/

Clicked on CB1100 but didn't see anything come up under the tab for "fuel tanks". I clicked on the CB1100EX tab and that brings up a number of options for tanks, prices in the $650 (which would be about 350-400 less than Samurider.com offers (although of late they seem to be out tanks on their page; I emailed them and they replied that they could get one for me, but I didn't follow up yet). But the strange for me thing is that japanwebike has no photos of the tanks, just a skew / part number...and no color description.

How did you choose which tank with no color description?

Here's a link from our forums about japanwebike from back in 2015, but not tank related:

And if you haven't googled "japan.webike reviews" that will bring up both positive / negative reviews from different sites...at least they exist from far back as 2015 that I can see.

I was interested in an alt. color tank (because red isn't my favorite) but at around $1000 from Samurider, I started liking red a bit more. But if I could score a silver or blue tank for 650, that would be cool--different colors for different seasons of the year.

If you are having second thoughts, you could call credit card and voice your concerns about the company / your purchase--they may have some advice for you.

I do hope it works our perfectly for you...new tank could give me a winter project, make me look thinner and younger to boot.
