1970's Honda CB500.  In my opinion, the sweetest tank ever for cafe style bikes.  It will fit a CB750 if you "massage" the inner tunnel with a rubber mallet.  I used one on my 77 Cafe 750 a few years ago.

It ain't 500 as the filler is in the middle, probably 750

<-   I vote CB350-Four as well  (see my avitar).

Looks like a tank from a CB500T  these tanks are probably one of the better "cafe style" tanks that Honda made.  I have attached a picture of one that I used to have.

Again, look at the back of the tank where it meets the saet... not a 500 tank.. a 350-4 tank..

Ahh, yes.  I retract my vote for 500T

Yep, CB350F tank.   I've got a spare one similar to reply#4's photo.   Black with faded paint, no rust, a few small dings. PM me if you are interested.
