85 F1 Aus paint scheme - width of tank stripe?

#1 Post by JonW » Fri Oct 03, 2014 12:27 am

Can anyone with OEM paint on their F1 please let me know the width of the red stripe on the tank? On my tank its like this, but i can see its been repainted at some point by the spray job that runs over the filler hole :(

So sorry for the rate repry John.
I have what I think is an original unmolested (31K tank, no sure if F1 was the same tank paint design).
I Just measured it, 100mill on top flat. ( leave the line on, in some areas it 103 to 105, the guy at the factory must have had a big night on the Sake, many moons ago.
Come over the rear bend then she fans out to 175 at the base, near your balls.

Thanks mate, sounds very similar to what Im being told in PMs and emails, looks like this is the plan. perfect!

Does it come across half the filler hole, or about 1/3rd, or 3/7ths like in my pic?

Intersects exactly 1/2 way given the internal diameter of my fuel hole is 40 mill
