    In need of a fuel tank for a Yamaha RX100. Any ideas where i could locate one or would a tank from another model fit it. Where is the best place to source spare parts apart from ebay. This is my first motorbike to renovate so new to all of this. Any advice appreciated (apart from the advice to just scrap it!!)

    RX-S100 was very popular when I was starting out, but I didn't fancy the drum brakes. Got a GP100 with a disc brake. It hardly mattered as neither was a ball of fire :rolleyes:

    There was an oddball RX-S135, which needed a full licence but nobody with a full licence would want to ride. 10cc too big to be learner legal at the time.

    Third party only insurance on the GP100 in my first year, age 23, was one thousand pounds :eek: absolutely insane, you'd have to wonder how biking survived in this country at all. To this day it puts me off doing any business of any type with Aviva (successor of Norwich Screwnion.)

    Scrap the cap!
