I have this in the parts wanted section too. I need a cap and hinged lid for it.

Is this a CB750 tank? I think so, but if I am wrong please set me straight.

Looks a bit "teardroppy" to me.  Is it off a Custom?

Don't think so---the gas cap area is recessed on 77-78 Ks, and the overall shape is too roundy and short.

It's not a DOHC tank either.

I'm gonna guess CB450 or CB500...

Sort of looks like a 3 wheeler tank.

Is it a Honda tank ?   Kinda looks like a Suzuki GT750 tank I used to have.
