Welcome in Ben
You'll be bloody lucky to find a carbon fiber fuel tank , I've only known one guy that had one and he paid a small fortune for it ! By the time he got it he said it was that beautiful he was going to stick it on the mantel piece , that's if the wife didn't kill him first when she found out how much he paid
Good luck with both the tank and the rad . Don't let not finding the parts put you off hanging around though mate , it's not a bad place
How long you had the 5jj ? Infact if you can be bothered it'd be nice if you could start a thread in the projects section as we love a good nosey
What other bikes you had / have ?

I had a change to buy a CF tank for one grand. But i was tight with monies at the time. It was brand new never used! i still regret not getting it.
I will open a build thread when i get around to gather pix from my album. You guys will be proud of it

Welcome to the forum Ben and good luck in hunting fir the bits and bobs you are after. The carbon tank sounds sweet... but hay if one came up in the past one may well come up in the future, the guy with the one on his mantle piece may pop his clogs and wifie sell it
