Gas Tank Sizes and Swaps Table
« on: January 10, 2008, 09:29:55 AM »
Hi folks,

There's a lot of emails about tank swapping e.g., CB750 tank fits on a CB550, etc.  I'll put together a table to show various tanks, Honda or not, there sizes, and any swaps made to other bikes with the associated modifications.  Once done, I'll post for everyone's future use.

If you want to add to this list send me:

1. What type of Gas tank from what motorcycle model (e.g. 1974 Honda CB750)
2. What are the dimensions (LxWxH) measured from the outermost points (e.g., 25x9x9)
3. (Optional) What other bikes can this tank fit to (e.g. CB500, CB550)
4. (Optional) Where there any necessary modifications to this (e.g., Cut/Shave rubber mounts)

Great idea.

Sounds like you've taken quite the challenge.  Look forward to seeing your chart/table.

jj,

I have a tank off a '74 CB360 mounted on my '75 750F.
Much smaller than stock.  L==20", W=10", H= 8"
No mod necessary.
Shows a lot more engine.
Seems to stretch a little bit, though.
