After 7 weeks of wait, tank #3 has finally retuned to me from Hattar Motosports. They have a 3rd-party contractor working on all in-coming tank coating job, and Hattar offers life time warranty against any gas tank deformation due to the defect of coating. This is the second time I use their service - for whatever possible opportunity, I do prefer support the local business; especially dealing with a new tank with high shipping cost.

This is the first time I have have chance to inspect what kind of work been done. The tank as dual layer of 3M silver metallic color coating, and it acts as a barrier between the plastic tank and gasoline. $235 with life time warranty - not too bad. Before the deer killed my Streetfighter, the coated tank was working perfectly fine. I will have Ace Motosports to do the installation along with the new clutch. I will post update soon. Stay tune.

Deer vs Streetfighter... and no one wins

Me... 'resting' in the middle of the road!, originally uploaded by Speedy Chung.

Yip, that's me 'resting' in the middle of the road with a dead deer in front of me. Still remember first thing came to my mind after the impact was "shit, my wife going to be pissed!!!"

I guess I will ride my Classic a lot more for the next few months. Will bring update on the insurance process and out-come on my SF-S blog. Here is the link of details... and yes, I am one lucky dog.
