aftertmarket tank for cb350f
« on: March 28, 2022, 07:16:34 PM »
does anybody here have any good experience with purchasing one of these many aftermarket tanks on ebay for fitting to a cb350f?  mine is in pretty bad shape and as much as i want to use it I may just buy an aftermarket tank. 

Any help is appreciated.

thanks,
Marshall

   I  bought a repop for my CB400f from David Silver spares and am pretty satisfied with it. Not sure if they offer one for the 350.

Can you post a link? Wasn't aware that anyone is making a repop 350F tank.

sorry, what I meant was the many tanks that are advertised as fitting a cb350f.

Many EBay sellers would know what a motorcycle is if it bit them on the %^$. So that is to be taken with caution on any claim of a part fitting, or in good shape. "Ran well when parked" euphemism  :)
Common sense.....isn't so common!

Searching eBay with the addition of -fits in the search box will weed out the universal fit parts.

Having said that, the new fuel tanks that you will find might fit your bike. Lots of those items have good measured photos. But most likely they won't fit like a stock tank, seat to tank gap may be larger and you may have to fabricate mounts. Also I wanted to mention some of those 9 liter tanks were going cheap, I haven't looked in over 6 months though so maybe not any more. Inexpensive repop tanks may also have leaks and surface rust, they probably need to be lined anyway, just like the tank you already have...
