Topic: Another new guy, Tank question.

Yah Don, you were totally cool about the hole thing. And I must admit the honest type to post those pics that showed that tank for what it truly was. I have seen some guys do like you and give it a nice coat of wax and hang it on the wall. Good talking piece. Others have actually made a lamp with the tank as the base. It is a cool piece though. I do want to welcome you to the forum even if you just popped on to tell us about the tank. I have a feeling you will be back with a SOHC in the future. There are a number of SOHC's that pop up in your area from time to time. Hope you can land one soon. You can even pop over to the "wanted" area of this board to let the guys know what you may be looking for. Good luck in your search...

HMM, hanging up on a wall? I could really use some art. Would you be interested in selling still? I may be interested in it for art but not willing to pay crazy money. If so, let me know

Welcome to the forums!

Candy gold is introduced 1/70 beginning with frame no: 1019210. Honda had two different 1970-71 candy gold tanks by part number.

Early tank: 17500-300-030CQ  used from frame: 1019210 to 1055209
Late tank:  17500-300-040CQ  used from frame: 1055210 to end of production

17500-300-030CQ is superseded by 17500-300-040CQ. Your tank could be either early or late production. It all comes down to which KO/K1 model trim is applied to the tank, then it becomes correct.

#$%*ty on the tank. But stick around if you get a CB.

Stick around even if you don't have a CB. There is a thread "other bikes", a couple guys on here have XS's, great bikes.

Thanks for being honest about the tank, takes a real man to do that. And great pic!
