I got the tank sealed temporarily, thanks to some JB Weld and some tank sealer. Hasn't leaked a drop in over 24 hours so I'll see how long it lasts for now. My only thing is I didn't prep it that great before I stuck the JB to it.

I tried some tank sealer but it was the putty crap and slowed it a lot but still a slow leak now. I am trying to stay away from welding and buying a new one. I priced them and ouch, the cheapest I seen was like $560. As for actually seeing the leak no but with the tank completely off and fuel level below the petcock and everything else it's dry until the hinge area. That leads me to think a seam or something but I'm far from an expert on this situation. I appreciate your inputs and any more ideas would be great.

I just picked up a 1999 SV 650 and it has a fuel leak. I checked into it today and was hoping it was just a hose or something minor but the tank is leaking by the hinge. Does anyone have a used tank or know where I can find one cheap. I was also wondering about welding it or other possible solutions on how to fix the tank I have.

I would love to have one of these for my XD(M) 40! It's a pretty sweet design being extremely minimal, the smaller the better since the gun isn't all that little.

Rode the fall leaf tour, it was an awesome route and finally got to meet a few of you guys on here that actually came. Thanks Greg keep up the great rides!

It was a great ride today, as soon as I figure out how to post pics off my phone I will. Thanks Greg for letting me ride the SV, when the time is right I will be looking for one. Hopefully it will be set up somewhat like yours!

A few months ago my account got overdrawn, they got a little over $2000 out of my account. It supposedly went to a website based out of Great Britain and the messed up thing was the site didn't exist yet said it was under construction. Took the bank about a month to do the whole fraud investigation and refund my funds.

I've had a cop pull up to me one day and I was thinking "oh shit" then he was like you'll never get this light to trip so he pulled in front of me and tripped it for me.

A few years ago about 2 weeks before my motorcycle Ohio course I broke my arm in a quad accident. I showed up to class in a cast, they looked at me like I was nuts and asked me if the DR. ok me riding I told them no but was still going to take the class. Then they asked if I was going to be able to operate the bike safely, I said I'll try. Long story kinda short, I passed with flying colors actually the highest score in the class 100%. If you feel like you can handle it, go for it. Ride a short distance and see how it feels. If its not too awful ride more just don't hurt yourself cause you want back on. On a side note my DR was pissed when I showed back up to the office with my cast packed with mud from hill climbing and flipping the quad.

I did want to see what the AR would do BUT it was at my ex-inlaws house and she isnt a fan of guns and killing animals but he was all for it until we seen the babies. I would have liked to see what hydra-shocks for my XD(M) 40 would do too

Oh I was gonna shoot it before we found out there was babies, but didnt want the young to suffer without mommy.

A few weeks ago we cought a momma and 6 baby skunks, 4 of the babies were on the outside of the cage and being under a year old they cant spray. I walked up to the cage with a big blanket and covered it. We had the cage on a sheet of plywood so it was gonna be easier to carry. Of course I had to hold a baby but anyways we carefully carried the cage and put it into the bed of the truck, drove like 20 minutes down the road and we released them. Mommy skunk was pissed and sprayed under the blanket but the smell wasnt so strong. I slowly opened the trap door and she ran like hell and the babies hung out for a little bit.

Buell isn't out pf business, they just aren't with Harley Davidson any more. If I recall right Buell is producing one this year and then next year or so going to add more models to their lineup.
