Being a moron, I let my 1986 (Euro fully faired) VF500F2F roll off the side stand and fall into a steel crash barrier.
The tank is now creased and very badly damaged. 

Thankfully, the rest of the bike was untouched.

So if anyone has a red white and blue tank in good condition they want to part with, let me know. From Ebay, I get the impression good ones are very rare these days.
Could be a long wait...

Awwww... I checked the dutch online breakers.......  nothing..

If you do find an online seller, located in Almere in NL... avoid. it is a piece of shit offered as in ok condition. It is leaking (nearly bought it for Keny)

Thanks. I'll get one eventually, somehow, even if it means buying another bike. 

You can never have too many VF500 bikes IMO.
