There are tubes welded in.  ;)  I wouldn't compromise the structure just for aesthetics.  We'll.....................not knowingly!   And yes, I realize that I have not "lightened" anything.  The tubes and welds weigh more than the material removed.   :o
Well why didn't you say so in the first place!?! Making us all worry needlessly about you  ::)  ;)

Hello everyone! 
I'm finally getting back to this project.
I would like to purchase a new fuel tank and would like some advice.
I'm a little hesitant to make a purchase without getting feedback from you guys.
TIA

Jan

As I recall, you were going for a cafe aesthetic.

Assuming you do not want a stock or modified tank, you could of course look for someone to fabricate an aluminum tank for you.  If you want a race style tank, you might inquire with Denis Curtis at CMR in Canada.

I apologize for not being clear.
I would like to purchase a original style tank.  Places like David Silver and Vintage CB750 have such tanks. 
My question is, what quality are these tanks and/or has anyone used them?

+1 on Yamiya. They are not cheap, BUT when you take into the account of a great condition tank, professional body and paintwork, accurate color paint, emblems, decals, etc. -- then it's actually a solid deal. https://www.yamiya750.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=157
