Alloy Honda 400/4 fuel petrol gas tank. New.

This is a one off, made for a customer who failed to collect.

Beautiful tank.

See pictures for fit.


I think where they messed up is that they used a bare frame for measurements and didn`t take into consideration the pair of coils that are mounted there.

And now someone else has to go through the  circus that Unc Ernie did.

1972 CB500 - 1973 CB500 - 1974 CB550K - 1975 CB550F - 1975 CB750F - 1976 CJ360 - 1983 CR480 - 1970 BSA A65T Thunderbolt

That is REALLY FUNNY!  Thank you so much for posting that!

Yodel-dude, I sent pictures and measurements of all angles of the tank, I bought them a frame to work from, taped a ruler to various spots on MY frame and sent jillions of pictures including the coils from various directions.

I will guarantee that tank will never fit any CB400F known to man.  Somebody paid $750 USD for a handmade ash tray that a bowling ball fell on.

Lest we forget what true artistry can accomplish ~
Dude- your 8 layers are showing!
