Can someone measure their tank stripe for me?
« on: April 19, 2010, 09:29:18 AM »
 I'm looking at running this style tank stripe on my '72 CB500.

 The link above shows a 450 twin but the CB750 came with the same or similar stripe. Can anybody with a stripe like this take some measurements for me? Overall length and width at widest part of stripe?
 I'm trying to figure out if one of the stripes that Z1 lists will fit my 500 tank.
Thanks!

I measured the tank stripes on my 71 CB450 and they are approximately 19 7/8” long and 1 5/8” at its widest point.  Hope this helps.

 Thanks! It did help.
 It looks like those stripes will work fine on my CB500 tank. They're not quite as wide as I had imagined, but no biggie.
