So here's the scoop my moto-brothers: We took the tank out of the bike. It is a formed black ABS plastic affair made in Germany. There is a 3" diameter white nylon plug that is glued into the rear of the tank used to seal the hole there which was left by the fabrication tool that formed the ABS plastic during manufacture. Only problem.... Nylon and ABS plastic DO NOT have the same co-efficient of expansion and contraction!

Since the tank is also pressurized, the seal started to leak between the nylon plug and the ABS tank material where it is glued in! Likely the extreme heat in North Carolina during the day, upper 80's, mixed with the night-time lows in the 40's all week long, contributed to the conditions that corrupted the glue/seal. I now need a new tank.

I have no idea how long it will take to get one either. The GOOD FOLKS at Ray Price HD/Triumph gave me a 2012 1700cc Storm as a loaner

....Oh, how I miss my Trophy SE -> NO COMPARISON!!! The SE is superior in every way so BE THANKFUL you're not on an HD big-twin wannabe!!

Hope to be back in the saddle with my SE asap; -Dr Ron
