Topic: Gas Tank For My CB550K

[bill440cars]

                    I wasn't sure where to post this, it is for my CB550K project, but it's a later model
        tank. Anyway, I found a Honda VT750 Shadow Aero tank on ebay and my questions are:
        Would it fit down over the frame suitably? Does any one know what the width is across the
        front and across the rear? I really like the shape of this tank for one of my projects and, so far
        there are no other bids.     

                                At this time, I only have about 7 hours and 10 minutes

                                            So, if ANYONE has any input, Help!!!!


                                                      Thanks Guys, Bill

I think (problem there) the shadow tanks bolted in the front also. So you might have to make/change  mounts.

        Unless there would need to be major fabrication, That wouldn't bother me. The photos on ebay
    look like the front mounts similar to the 550. I know the opening at the front of the tank is probably
    wider and I'd have to allow for that. I'm just concerned about the width across the front & the rear
    (I don't want the forks to hit,I know you can change fork stops, and I want to have plenty of
    turning ability. I also don't want the rear of the tank to so wide that it dwarfs the seat) Later on, Bill
