a7 ss tank

[mikethebrush]

Ive been reading through the parts list at draganfly and note that the ss is listed as having a large round badge tank, I seem to remember this coming up before but I wasnt worried as I liked the pear shaped badge

these days I like the goldies and rgs plus the older bikes that have the round badge, the bikes a 59 and if its supposed to be round badge I will source one and if its meant to be pear shaped I will have this one refurbed in time

I dont want to spend money on this tank if its not the original spec and then have to pay an arm and a leg later on for a round badged tank

I like the idea of a round badge as its in keeping with the other sports bikes

Hi Mike.
I believe that the 'pear badge' tank came out for the 1960 model year (GA7 frame number prefix from sept59 onwards ) these were fitted across the range but I believe that the pear badges fitted to the shooting-star models had a black background as opposed to the more common red type. The exact change over points are always a bit vague possible dependant on what was left in stock. Somebody will no doubt correct this if they know better. Thanks, Peter

thanks Peter

the bikes registereed in dec 59 and does look like a 60 spec, it is the black badge so that would be correct then

cheers Mike
