I don't want to spend a ton on it so if this one doesn't go to high I may go for it. I have a couple questions though. Does anyone know how many gallons it holds, roughly, and how hard would it be to clean it up?

Who knows what all that is hiding. Keep searching you'll come across a better one than that before long.

A little light rust inside (shouldn't need coating, just shake a handfull of bolts around in it for a bit). Has one big dent in the front where a girder bottomed out on it, but it'll pop out if you try. No bondo, no leaks. Lemme know.

I guess if it only holds 2.5 gallons I don't know that I want it. I would like something that holds 3-3.5, I ride 20 miles to work one way and I hate having to fill every day. I wasn't sure how big they were, and after looking at my bike and thinking of where my backbone is actually at I think I want something that sits a little lower also. thanks anyways guys!!!

I got it for $20, and it was close enough to pic up. I sprayed some aircraft stripper on it and the bondo is coming off nicely, and the inside had some minor surface rust, it is soaking in a CLR bath right now, and coming right off. The guy was great, him and his son are working on an older harley chop right now and tonight they are picking up an 81 honda to start chopping. I told him about slicks and he is going to check them out. I will get some pics up when I get a chance. I figure I can clean it up and see what I got and if worse comes to worse, back to ebay it can go.
