That would be a 500twin tank. Don't know year, maybe 75-76?

Squirley, do you think it would fit a 78 CB550?

I really couldn't say.  I take it you don't actually have it or simple measurements could clarify this.  I am guessing that it is not a bolt up, and may have some issues clearing the coils.  I believe they are smaller than the 500 cbs...?

R550,

I think its an easy fit if not a direct install.  The knee indents on 500T tank are pretty poopular for the cafe conversions.

No, I don't have it.  I asked the ebay seller to measure it for me but they never got back to me.  Oh well, I don't really NEED it right now and another one like it will come along another day. 
Thanks guys.
