Tanks look different to me but CR750 replica fits what you want

Airtech makes a CR replica tank.
http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/hondaz/CR7501969-77SINCAM.htm
It is fiberglas, as most are I'd think, and subject to fiberglas caveats, like they are not street legal and not compatible with certain street fuels (I think).

Yes I was looking at theirs right now, but for some reason the tank looks really slim? most look pretty wide from the front. Is having a fiberglass tank really a HUGE no no on the street? I thought most people do run them, with like benjies/airtech/and all other brands out there etc.

All I know about them is what I've read. More bad than good. I think its ethanol blend fuel that eats them up. Going to be harder and harder to find non-ethanol.

Here's my tank and seat that Sean did for me (Roccity).  Excellent service and craftsmanship.  Not the CR tank but a good review nonetheless...

the way it sits back further would make for a uncomfortable ride especially not moving the controls back and with the clubmans you lying down on it with your legs tucked right up underneath you.at least they did the controls on those bikes.i put a cb500t tank on my cb550 it was 3 inches longer i have the clubman bars i am leaning in further than i like now if my controls where moved back it wouldn't be so bad the cheaper route is to change the bars so i'm going with drag bars.the cb500t tank has the knee dents in them but they are not as deep as  jessezm tank which by the way is very nice

Thanks!  It was about 3 months or so.   It was worth the wait, and after having a bad experience with a different popular supplier, he was the only person wiling to work with me on building exactly what I wanted.
