When my Buell S1 Whitelightning tank started to show signs of the paint blistering problem several years ago. I researched the options, e.g. sealants, covers, repaint, alloy tank. Along the way I’ve been let down, twice. The worst case was when my tank was with a guy in Scotland for a year, only to find nothing had been done. Having to cover up with a Baglux just made the Buell look really drab. Today the Final Solution arrived in the shape of a polished Holt Manta tank. I can only echo the feedback of other Buell Holt tank owners. Tony’s workmanship and attention to detail is exceptional. It’s been said before but the tank really is an engineering work of art. Now I can see the tank in the flesh I’m rethinking about painting, it’s just too good to cover up in my opinion. |
