Doesnt seem to know a whole lot about vintage bikes but
Says he thought the documentation he got with it said it fit a
Vf750 but thats nuts no way. I think he meant cb750.

Heres the dimensions...if my memory serves this is a $5-600
Alloy tank but cant recall who makes it.

That looks like a custom tank to me. The perfectly flat bottom, the bends in the center frame tunnel, the welds. It all screams custom made.

It's metal, grab it as fast as you can...

Looks custom but similar to the Manx style...

Yep thats the one.
That ones made in India. Thought I saw some american place before like legendary cycles or somewhere in that park.
Seems a good deal at 300$ I think I will snag it up

Guy said the decals were cleared over. Wonder how hard itd be to strip that and buff it out. Steel wouldnt bother me but aluminums softer and with it being clear kinda hard to see when you cut through with sander. What would be the best method to strip it if decided to do so to polish it?

aircraft stripper, did you buy it yet?

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #9 on:** January 17, 2018, 09:50:29 PM »

Its in the works

Looks like the Legendary one is almost $500 in fiberglass abd the cap is an extra $150.... Also it has no clipon scallops.
Guessing this is an english tank or maybe a India tank. Either way yeah its metal you guys are right get it fast.
And dthe best part Ive been kicking around weither I should buy it or not for like 2 weeks lol!
Last spoke with guy today so hopefukly deal goes down. I have a new 550 and a 750 that have open ended futures so this would give one of em some direction.

Is the pics actual tank...
The Indian stuff looks like that in the pics, when you get it the bottom is made of multiple pieces, lots of welds, not all pretty ones..

Yes actual tank

Good, that is why I said buy it, it looked well made, as in its pretty pricey if you had to buy new.

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #14 on:** January 18, 2018, 07:23:39 AM »

Locked it in this morning 754! Thanks for the advice.

Recieved tank today and low and behold it is not a 750 tank as I had hoped.... It is a really beautiful tank though and impeccable. Fits single backbone hondas well and it looks great on the 550 I just picked up so Im gonna run it on that.
Here it is mocked up on the 750 and then again at home on the 550- the old 550 body work is for sale and it is not to shabby at all! Tanks like perfect inside...

Looks tits

Wow that is a good looking tank - so does it fit the CB750? How does it secure to the bike? And what is the capacity of the tank as looks large. Id be interested in buying it should you ever want to re-sell.

thanks
Andy
