Who's got the blues?

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'd love to do the same. I can't find the correct part number for the blue. I know they weren't available in the US. I tried other Countries but there are several tank part numbers and none list the color code on them. Do you have the number?pdedse_imp said:

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?
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.
Just noticed that shipping...39,900 yen = $300 shipping...that's included in the $1300, but still quite steep.

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.Mafd2_imp said:

Shall we ask if they'll do a "two for one" shipping?Mafd2_imp said:

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.

I love the blues! My faves are Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray, and...oh, wait, you meant paint. I like my red.

Man, that is pretty! Wouldn't trade my red for it, but it's very, very pretty. If I had two bikes sitting on a showroom floor, one in that blue, and the other in my '13 red, it would be a difficult choice.

Thanks for the info. Can you confirm that's the correct part number for the blue? I've tried several places and they need the VIN to confirm the color code. I don't have a VIN on a blue one.Mafd2_imp said:
This seems to reference blue in the Switzerland row but not to be relied on. If I change the last digit to B look what happens to the table after this one.
