Tank recommendations - unfinished look?
« on: May 20, 2019, 05:44:23 PM »
Does anyone have recommendations for a gas tank on a 78 CB750? It currently has a black 76 supersport tank on it.  I like it but would also like the option to change it out to an unfinished silver look.  Does anyone know of any aftermarket tanks that would be an easy switch? I've seen a lot on ebay, but not sure about the fit and quality.

I tried the unfinished route with my 78 750k tank, bringing it down to bare metal then giving it a brushed look. Sealed it with 2k clear coat but it still surface rusted underneath. Currently redoing that one but I did an 83 750c tank in Duplicolor stainless and brushed in black and hit it with some light sanding before clear coating and it has a really good natural look to it. First photo is the 83 tank, second is the 78 tank.
