I'm guessing that's the Guliari replica made by Nippon...
Did they put the "Guliari" name tag on the replica? Mine has on. Don't know what it is exactly is, as I got it from ebay.
having it flip open
No fliping! As you already noticed no need to do so!
First I didn't like the seat because it looked to massive with the stock tank but with this tank it grow on me.
