They don't make sense.

"There's nothing wrong w our tank".
"New tank will have the things customer complained about". Roll Eyes

They should have given you the new model, free of charge.
Their 700$ loss is nothing compared to the bad PR
they made here.
craziest response i've ever seen. very strange but i can't give it another minute.

received a reply from Beater Japan, unsurprisingly:
"Thank you very much for your inquiry.
Regarding your question, all the holes in the tank are blind holes, not straight through to the inside of the tank."


so at least there is a solution to not having a good replacement at all. i'll be ordering one as soon as I know i'm free and clear of this other nonsense.

I stuck the iphone inside the Beater tank. The rounded bit is the rear of blind thread hole from fuel pump flange.

And a few more pics

Thx for doing that. I’m gonna order one. Finish looks much better than legendary too. And no holes straight into where the gas goes   laughingdp

No problem. Glad it’s a help.
One thing to note is, i got a choice of fuel filler styles. Either sticking with standard type filler cap or going with beaters own. My conclusion was to stick with standard type, just in case there was a problem in the future, it would be easier to scource a replacement. Will probably never happen, just being cautious.

After being lied to by legendary and told the cc complaint had landed in my favor, I sent the tank back to them only to find that the matter had never been settled. Surely my fault for not checking first. Legendary had their tank and my money and stopped responding to me. This is an outfit I wouldn’t have build me a kickstand after all this. Going to buy a beater tank today. Stay far away from legendary unless you have a high threshold for BS and subpar products.

To do that when they could make it right (sort of) is absolutely disgraceful conduct on their part. Beyond low.

Now they’ve been caught out on this forum, the place that could have been a decent source of business.

Terribly disappointing.

I feel for you Mate.

Wow. People asked fair and respectful questions and this is the outcome. Amazing how Legendary snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, as they could have made good for their customer and brand out of this, but they blew it. I'd be calling my lawyer. Beater wins big time.
Maybe Chris will make some 18 Litre Monster tanks for '93 - 2005 models.

I threatened legendary with legal recourse and ALL OF A SUDDEN, the case was settled next day. Coincidence I’m sure.
