Topic: options for slimmer gas tank?

[schmolze]

Aside from making my own out of fiberglass or spending $$$ for a cafe tank, what other gas tanks have people used on a CB750? I'm looking for a slimmer and/or taller tank and don't mind less capacity.

FIXIN TO PUT 81 CB900F TANK ON MY 76 CB750F

[gerhed]

On my '75 750F I put a
tank off a CB360--a lot narrower--shows more of
the engine. I thought the tank was a little short though
so I added an extension--the jury is still out on that part.

CB500 is narrower and already has the knee creases built in (sorta)  I like the look on a 750.

CB 450 looks good a bit of modding
CL 350 blueturbo runs one but his frame rails are snipped
 400-4 tanks look pretty good, minor mod or frame bashing
 TL Honda trials tanks are the SLIMMEST, but only hold just over a gallon and probably need lots of work.
 My guess is you will like the 400-4

Thanks guys, lots of good possibilities there.

Whatever you decide on, don't be worried about taking a hammer to the tank to make room for the components underneath.  I just did some "mods" to a 400/4 tank so the Z1000 USD forks I put on would not hit.  It was much easier than I ever thought, and the metal moves smoothly and slowly.

I have a 3 gallon, (with reserve) acorn tank on mine at the moment. I don't like it because I get very little distance out of it compared to everyone else with larger tanks .. about 80 miles give or take. I will sell you my tank in about two weeks when I swap out for the tank I just got from Charlie. I need to have it gel'd once I get it back from the media blaster later this week before I can do anything.

I think King Custom meant the CB500T tank..........I like it.

Spades, that is a Mustang tank...

 I hope you mean hits reserve at 70 or 80 miles.. if not, it needs work...

[Spades]

Oh it needs work but yes, it hits reserve at about 80 miles. The tank was on the bike when I bought it therefore I didn't know the exact name of it. Just that I don't like the size.
