Cb750 K0 Tank
« on: July 10, 2013, 06:00:06 PM »
I just picked up a k0 that I will be restoring. It currently has a k5 or later tank on it, so my first plan is to find a correct tank. Knowing that it will be repainted, what years have the same tank as a 1970? In other words, besides paint, are there differences between the k0 through k4 tanks? Also, when did wrinkle tanks stop?

Thanks!

Can anyone tell me the serial number range for the wrinkle tanks? I want to be as accurate as possible.

Yeah, I'll be selling the k5 tank. Nice non-standard house of kolor metallic paint. Let me know if you are interested.
