Thank You,

looks like a '74 to me

I have a tank just like that I got from Bill Benton and he said it was a 75k. It's going on my 74.

what side is the petcock on? 74 and below is on the left, after that it switched to the right.  Do you mean if it will fit a 750 or 550?  If so, 750 is my guess.

Color looks like 1976 Antares Red for the 750.Another similar red was made in 75 called Flake Apricot Red but a little different shade.

The paint is a little faded. originally I think the color was closer to a GARNET RED color.

You have it backwards. 74 & below on the right....75 & above on the left. I have a 75K but I'm running a 74 tank. All of the K tanks to 76 will work with all of the 76 and down K bikes. F models and 77-78 K's are different.

you can run K0-K6 tanks on K7 K8 tanks here is one on my 78- Best PETCOCK design ever!

Xnavylfr- you still wanna sell that tank? I live in Mooresville, NC and could pick up if you could help a brother out.

I have the same tank (with indents installed for clubmans) on my 75' 400F.

Yeah sorry, thanks for the correction.

Yes . It's still for sale but I have been contacted by a forum member through the for sale section saying he wants it. I will PM him to find out positively and try to verify he wants it. I'll get back to you soon.
You could drive over for what shipping would be!!!
