A note about these Carbon Fiber Tanks...
I create these tanks by hand which takes many hours. Each tank is then field tested to ensure that it fits your motorcycle properly and will not leak.
My Carbon Fiber tanks were originally designed for racing and are being used today for this purpose today. However, for most street riding, including touring, they will work very well, especially considering the extra capacity the tank gives the rider. I use one on my street bike and I have customers who also do the same.
In the case of impact, Carbon Fiber does not dent. Carbon Fiber is elastic up to the point of fracture. So, if Carbon Fiber is subject to impact, the material may survive or in extreme cases, it could fracture. This is a fact of life with any Carbon Fiber material.
A customized or stock metal tank has the same costs involved when damage occurs. A damaged metal tank will most often cost as much to repair as a damaged Carbon Fiber tank and the stress that causes the damage is the same for both.
If you own one of my tanks and it does get damaged, I can repair it for you if you send it back. However, this service is not free.
