I HAVE A 2003 HONDA SHADOW 750 ACE MOTORCYCLE AND WAS RIDING IT ON 6/28/06 WHEN I DISCOVERED A FUEL LEAK THAT WAS DRIPPING ONTO THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD AROUND THE SPARK PLUG. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND A SMALL HOLE IN THE TANK THAT HAD RUSTED THROUGH FROM THE INSIDE. CONTACTED HONDA DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND THAT THEY DID NOT FEEL LIKE THIS WAS THEIR PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE A RECALL THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED ON A 3 YEAR OLD MOTORCYCLE AND I DO NOT LIVE IN A STATE WHERE CORROSION IS A PROBLEM. *JB
