If it is from an SOHC it's from a CB750, 69-76 style.  I think it was modified though, split down the middle and widened with a section added.  This would also explain the gas cap being too far forward.

The line of the tank (as in shape/contour, not actual line) right where the early decal stripe (not the big one with the black part in the middle) looks like CB750, if it is, it's been altered.

Let's see the bottom.  I don't think it is from an sohc4.  Suzuki gt380,550, 750?

Yes a picture of the bottom would be helpful as would a pic of the stock petcock if you have it available.
  Welcome to the forum, are you building an SOHC custom of some type ?
  Suzuki may be a good guess with that raised section down the middle and cap location, does the bottom look like this ?

It looks like my 77 F's series tank with the raised middle, although I have a flap over the gascap, maybe some custom work?
