WTB - Pregen Gas Tank
Looking to buy a gas tank for a 92 ninja 250.
Also looking for the proper bolts to mount fairings that will not puncture tank. Uggg.... previous owners.

You can "fix" the tank. I had the same problem. I used JB weld to install a long stainless steel screw and cut the head off to make a stud. I then use stainless steel acorn nuts to hold the fairing on. It may not work forever, but you can just repeat if it ever fails. |

I hear that Kawasaki had a recall on some due to the manufacturing procedure having them re-tap the threads when contaminated during painting and them often coming already punctured from the factory. IIRC, the recall only covered more recent years of the pregen, but it's worth checking into.
