t_andrews Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 First to name the item and guess what caused what is shown in picture earns a beverage of their choice to be administered when they visit eastern Canada or I visit wherever they are.

gordon_dunn Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Fuel tank and some sort of perforation caused by long term abrasion... either harness or frame.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveF Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Looks more like heat damage to me, it appears to be melted locally. So, is it fuel tank and exhaust silencer? The black markings look suspiciously sooty, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_P Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Fuel tank with cage/frame vibration fretting abrasion. I suspect the black deposit is aluminium oxide/crud combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) hummmm It also looks like a 'fast' sort of rub, like a motorcyle OR Mountainbike tyre or something, or a 'strike'. looks like a Parajet Macro tank! .

t_andrews Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Without offering any hints, I've asked the generator of said photo result to judge the closest answer (I will honor the beverage offer). Some have been more specific then others, but the most specific, closest to actual cause guess gets it. Feel free to edit your guesses.

Dragonphotographic Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Looks like a fuel tank. Saw a couple of similar things on the Tip to Tip. When the cam belts got damp they expanded and sheared off. It's all in the DVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
