the age old cb500t tank on a cb550 question answered.

yes it will fit if:

1.you move the bung north 3 inches on the tank. Welding cost $125. Bung $15.




2. shorten the tank mounts and rubbers on your frame.

The stock seat will not work with this tank with out more mods. FYI.

I also cut C the mounts on the tank to slide the frame mounts through. the 500t tanks doesn't sit far enough forward for me. so i made some adapters and scooted it forward on the frame. I am also going to adjust the rubber mounting pad to rais the back of the tank where it meets the seat. slopes too much for me too. Good looking tank, but all in all, cost me about $150 to mount this bad boy.

I saw a lot of posts with final answer. hope this helps others.

Well, that makes me glad that I decided not go pick up a 500T tank.  I love the look but not to keen on getting a new bunghole.  :-\
