1400 Owner In North Carolina

Hi. Just joined the forum. I've ridden/owned a bunch of bikes over the years, but never a Intruder 1400. Closest I ever got was a 92 VX800. Really enjoyed that bike too. This bike needs some love to get back on the road, but hoping I can make the project work.

I'll be asking tons of questions! :)

Though I responded to your questions answered your other Thread, I'd like to welcome you herein also....Glad you're Here! :cheers: :clap:

Seems you have a '97. :space: There's a Brand New Tank available here:
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=14014

Though the New Tank is a '96, :space: I've owned both model years, and IIRC, the colors of the paints used are pretty much the same. :space: Different pattern, but might be close enough for you.

thanks for the leads guys. I reached out about that other tank. I hate to have to strip and repaint it, but certainly like the idea of a good clean tank. Finding good ones so far is pretty rare.

Yes, these tanks are indeed rare.

Are you sure you'd need to repaint the New Tank? :space: If the Paint Colors (red/black) are the same,... You might like the different Color Pattern on the '96 over the '97. :space: I know I did.
