Topic: Tanks

[rdub3017]

I am looking for a new tank for my cb550F, old racer style, kind of like the Drixton 500 tanks. Anyone know a good source for aftermarket tanks?

           I'd like to welcome you also, why don't you check out the tanks at ohiocaferacers.com?
     They're not the same style but, They are a good looking tank and I think Greg is either working on a
     tank to fit the 550s or he's going to. I don't remember for sure. Check it out though. Later on, Bill

Thanks guys. I am just mainly looking for a longer tank. Ohiocaferacers had a cool tank, I'll have to see if they will have one for my 550.

I'll PR/Market the hell outta those tanks, If I get a custom one for my own use 

Check out Benji's cafe racers website. Kinda on the pricey side, but he has some sick tanks.
If I had the cash I would pick one up in a heartbeat...Link below.

            duster, I wish. Naw, I just like his tanks and also his idea about rearsets and how he mounts his.
    Hey, If I could swing the cash for one of his tanks, I'd be there in a heartbeat. I'll push ideas and 
    products that  anybody has, that I think are worth it. Hey, I'd push them even if they were yours!
    Ha! Ha! Like I said, I'll recommend any that I feel IMHO are worth mentioning. You take care duster
    and I'll catch you later.                   Bill

              Understood, that seems to be a never ending problem for me. Liking things but, not the cost
    of them. For example (in my case) Rearsets, Aluminum gas tanks, Custom seats, and on and on. So, I
    just keep looking for ways to make my own (in some cases) and substitutes (in other cases). Then I
    admire the bikes of those who can get those things for their bikes. Later on, Bill

[dusterdude]

yea,greg`s ideas for rearsets is kick ass.im gonna have to investigate that sometime myself.

[ProTeal55]

Example:
The stock tank I bought on Ebay for $60 is fine, and in perfect shape, but the
Benji tank for $300 would be much cooler on my bike.

Both would still hold fuel, and get the bike from point A to B the same.
I would rather take that $300 and dump it into my car.

Thats how I look at things like this....

Bill: I see your new Avitar. Placed your order yet?

Bill: I see your new Avitar. Placed your order yet?

            I wish. Instead, I'll be looking at them at them dealer being bought and driven by other people.
     I'll probably be getting a "MiniVan" next. Gotta have the room for the wife, my daughter, James &
     Joey (the 2 teenage boys my wife and I work with, that are special needs) & James' wheelchair. I've
     had Dodge & Plymouth Grand Caravans and Grand Voyagers before and we all fit nicely. Wouldn't
     work too well with that "ToughLooking Challenger." Ahh, such is life. Later on, Bill

Guess you will have to wait for the "Hemi Caravan"
