found the culprit of the leak. apparently there was a small crack on that little guy, so its drying, and i'll apply plastic expoxy to it tonight and fixxer right up. Then engine ice tomorrow, then a ride up to cycle therapy and see what parts i can pick and choose from when i get the money.

Sorry for the bad luck, man. It seems like you have been down more than Paris Hilton lately. Stay safe. Don't want to see a good guy go down for good.

Sorry about the get off. REALLY glad you are alright. The bike will come around in no time.

www.findnearby.net that will give you EVERY craigslist.

www.ronayers.com will give you the micro fische for the part numbers

www.sportwheel.com will give you the largest graveyard for motorcycles. They are located in Minnesota, and are usually pretty quick to get back to you Tues - Sat.

Don't do it, it won't work. Most epoxy won't hold a reservoir together, with the pressure and the composite of the tank you'll blow fluid after a wee bit of time. Ask me how I know....

uh huh. Well i already epoxy'd the hell out of it, it was the smallest little crack, how much pressure do those things build anyways? This expoxy i've used before, and its heavy duty stuff.

Im gonna run it tomorrow, but i'll keep a close eye on it. thx for the heads up and all the great info zoomy.
