 I would pay 100 for it..

Yeh, but Frankie, your cheap. Easy worth $200.00. They are getting to be rare.

I have never really followed them or tried to buy one yet.  So I don't know..
 But having 4 K0 engines or case sets, its in the back of my mind from time to time. Not trying to build a stocker really but will use a modded factory frame.

That was the number I had in mind too. 

It can vary depending if you are the one buying or selling!

Well if someone lowballed him, and mine was a better offer.......
 I am a bit surprised I never ran into one yet, just because..

there were 53000 made and they were not all sandcast,200 would be an outside price,unless I were desperate

Production numbers for the SC/K0 combined was less than 44,650. The K1 starting VIN was CB750-1044650. Still a lot of SC/K0 tanks. However, out of a bunch of CB750 oil tanks on eBay right now, none of them are SC/K0 tanks. And when one does show up, it sells quickly for pretty stiff bucks. They are becoming hard to come by. Who'd a thunk?

yeah I saw that on ebay,250 range,my buddy used to buy and sell ko stuff,all his oiltanks went to vic world or yamiya.I would bet that yamiya sells them as refurbished for big bucks.all I am saying is if you want to sell at ebay prices ,the stuff goes into a black hole and never returns,or is sold back to you at stiffer prices,and members dont catch a break.bill
