Check into the fuel tank liners like Kreme, good stuff and a kit is less than $50.00.

It’s not expensive to replace your tank but is the replacement going to be any better? It’s just as old and then you have to have it repainted to match your bike.

You may not have to replace it, that is expensive.

There are fuel tank sealers that work very well and you keep your original fuel tank (and paint job)

I have used Kream sealant on three motorcycles with excellent results and there is a product called KBS I have heard it just as good

You will have to replace it. You could clean it I guess but you’d need to cut it clean and weld it back and it will probably look terrible. For a 96 your looking at no more than 150 bucks hope it helps.

Replace it. It can’t be reliably cleaned.

Comment on What is the advantage of having step-up seat in motorcycle? by JetDoc

The only real reason for having such a seat on a motorcycle is to allow the rear seat passenger to get his/her fair share of bugs in their teeth.

None whatsoever. It is a case of fashion overruling good design. The most comfortable motorcycle seats ever were broad and flat and were made in the 1980's on bikes like the Suzuki GS850, Honda Goldwing GL1000 and the incomparable Moto Guzzi Espada Mk II.

adds a modicum of back support, something to lean against. and when carrying a passenger, the added height allows them better visibility. can see over the driver's shoulder.

It allows the passenger to see the road ahead without leaning to the side, gives some support for the driver's lower back and looks much cooler. LOL
