The Manta Cafe Racer Gas Tank - Raw Steel - Motorcycle Gas / Fuel Tank 3.2 Gallon 12L

The tank came in good shape. Not perfectly manufactured, but I didn't expect it to be. The real reason I am writing the review is to warn you to be careful when handling it. The seams on the tank were very rough and very sharp. I didn't realize how sharp they were until I sliced open my finger while sanding the tank. Trip to urgent care and some surgical glue and I was all better, but definitely be sure to file down edges before handling. Turned out pretty nice in the end.

Since this is aftermarket and perhaps even a "universal" approach, there will be modification you will have to do in order to make it fit "just right". I bought it with this in mind and I did manage to make it work. However, the edges of this tank are extremely sharp and could cause cuts. I wish they would've sanded them down a bit. The sealing on the edges look okay and the weld down the middle was really good. I think 3 stars or perhaps 3.5 stars is a good review for this gas tank. I feel that this tank would be a higher rating if the price was not so steep.

Symmetry is way out of proportion, I could tell before I even took a close look. One side is completely hanging down on the right bottom, and the left is about an inch higher than the other. Completely unusable. Welds are, okay at best. Looks like they grinded them off with an angle grinder, you can visibly see trail marks running along the take on the bottom and sides of tank where the welder/grinder lost control and scratched the whole tank. Box was smashed, no padding or packaging to keep it safe, pet cock is trash, welds are trash, after prep is trash. No symmetry, doesn’t even sit on the bike level, leans to the left and looks stupid from different sides... look I wanted this tank to be great, especially since it would have fit, but the thing is junk and now I have to pay for shipping to get a refund. Ridiculous. 4into1 used to be a good brand, I guess they fired the quality control team. Buy something else.

I think for the price this was a great value. The tank looks great nice shape and would have looked great on my café racer build. Unfortunately the dimensions they give are very difficult to read. And it would not fit on my 1980 CB 900 C. Because of the triple backbone frame it has. It fit perfect into the rubber grommets but would not allow the backbone inside of the tank… I would have kept this tank if I could have made it fit but there’s no way to modify the frame that heavily. If they’re simply where dimensions showing the width of the opening on the underside of the tank I would’ve known this before purchasing. I really wish it would have fit cause it looks great. I am hoping that their other tank which appears to have a wider opening will fit. And if you have a single backbone frame this is a great choice.

The description says there may be a little rust, but there was significantly more than I was expecting. 1/2 of the tank I received was covered, and there was also some rust on the inside of the tank.
