This just ended on ebay - I was hoping to pick it up, but missed out... but I'd love to have one.

        Never seen one like it before, that I remember. Sharp tank too! I can see why you'd like to have gotten it. Like to know more about the tank myself. ;)

                                       Later on, Bill :) ;)

Dont think so - its fiberglass, and it looks like it could have come from airtech but nothing of that sort on their website.

Not bad - if it came off a supersport, its longer than a stock 750K tank, no?

I was wondering when you'd post that, Paul.
No.

Want to sell it?  ;D

I need to send you a PM later today asking about the dimensions of your CB550K tank - its pretty sharp!

I remember looking at that auction.  He mentioned it was made by Camber.  I used to have a fiberglass seat made by them on my 400F.  I doubt they're still in business.  It was more of a 750 sized seat and may have been a match to that tank.  Nicely made, with a little storage box built into the hump.

Thanks for the info - I tried to look up some info on google, but didnt come up with anything about that company.
