From the label it looks like ZARD.
Have a great time,our roads still bladdered in salt.
! C’mon BN, get it back in business! 
You should post some pics ! And let us know what it sounds like with the db killer out .
C’mon you Norton nuts, I refuse to believe that no one has an opinion on a prospective colour scheme for the new ally tank. Is this because most believe that it should just be left as is, less logo and pinstripe? Does the reverse Breitling idea not work for you? If you think that it’s crap idea please feel free to say “Steve, that’s a really crap idea!”It will be a couple of months until I get my hands on the ally tank, so I thought I’d look at some prospective paint designs. At the very least the Norton logo will need to be painted onto the tank, although the decal will do until painting takes place. I am gravitating towards the Breitling design in reverse, or negative if you like. Don’t want to just bolt the ally tank and leaving it - although I might.
Polished ally tank, with the inside of the gold pinstripe exactly the same as the standard black tank. Ally painted tail unit with the inside of the gold pinstripe in the standard black. Not going to paint anything until I’ve seen it mounted in its naked state of course, and ridden for a while to check for leaks.
Any thoughts or comments from you discerning and artful lot? Not concerned about creating a one-off or residual value lost by modifying away from standard - I have no intention of selling.
Ideally I would have got my hands on that ever illusive single seat unit

Steve, that’s a really crap idea! I'm not even sure if I want pinstripes. Now how do I get an alloy airbox and seat hump. Ollie has an alloy swinging arm.
Hey Skiddy,
! But I do get it! The vast majority of vintage cafe racer silver tanks would have been left plain, with just the logo. I’m gonna mount the tank with just the black Norton decal from TAB affixed and see how she looks. Any paintwork can wait until later.
I got mine from a UK source , it will be the same one though . There was a thread on it , very good price with shipping . I bought five of them.Hey Skiddy,
Well I suppose I did ask for that, literally
Hi Tony,
I take it that you intend to use the O-ring from the Alternate Parts List? Thanks.

So .... bought a '22 BMW R1250GS Adventure. Won't bore you with details or my impressions (which are quite positive), but here's a couple of pics. Time to tour!
As a long time KTM adventure bike fan, I would say that that represents a wise choice. The beemer is still the benchmark by which all other adventure bikes are measured, when it comes to long distance trouble free touring. You’ll need deep pockets to kit it out fully though - don’t sell a kidney, you’ll need both of them working well depending on where you intend to tour.So .... bought a '22 BMW R1250GS Adventure.
