gas tank for 1977 550 Four K
« on: June 03, 2013, 05:06:16 PM »
I was given a 1977 550 Four that was stored for about 15 years with gas left in the tank.  Needless to say, the tank rusted badly and sprung a number of leaks.  I tried relining the tank, but I've come to the realization that it is beyond capable maintenance.  Anyone know where I can get an aftermarket tank?  A new one that would need painting but that would fit would be outstanding.  Especially if it held more fuel than the OEM.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The problem with aftermarket , you will probably have to weld on some different mounts!! Will a CB 750 tank fit?? I think the 550 and 750 crossbred a lot of parts that interchange but I'm not positive. I have some CB750 tanks.. Did you check E-BAY?

Ebay has a ton. The 750 is different from what I heard. I have a 550 tank for a 74 you might like but I won't know for sure if I a, getting rid of it for another week.

What are your plans for the bike?
