I wouldn't have had any idea - but I am in the market for a RHS tank at the right price.

I told this guy before to advertise it truthfully, he ignored my email. It sold for $250. He uses different ebay names.

It was on my watch list as well, I'll have to look more carefully next time :oops:

I noticed the seller has updated the listing to say it is a left hand converted to a right hand tank

Normal RH tank has the side tapered in at the bottom. It misses the battery.. by ~10mm.
:idea:

Buy a battery with the terminals on LH side.. :wink:

This seems like a good thread to ask where to buy some of that chequered paint to put on the roof of my mini!!
