Any custom oil tanks around here?
« on: July 11, 2011, 03:31:06 PM »
I am warming up to the idea to "cleaning up the triangle" of my CB 750 which means I need a custom oil tank. I have seen a flat one that goes in between the frame, kind of where the fender usually sits. If anyone has a nice custom solution like that or anything else, I would love to see a pic. Of course I am also interested in do's and don'ts when attempting this mod  8)
Thanks everyone!

from what i've seen you can use basically anything you want.  how much do you want to spend?  you could probably design your own and take your design to a local welding shop and have one welded up out of stainless or aluminum for less than $100.  i have seen a guy use a small NOS bottle with a fitting in the bottom once.

Lowbrow Customs have a make your own oil tank, basically a complete kit, not too bad a price unless you live outside the US and have to pay for postage and taxes  >:(

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.
