500 and 550 tank shape and size
« on: March 12, 2009, 03:36:53 PM »
Will a gas tank from a 71-73 CB500 fit a 1975 CB550K ?  The tanks look the same, same shape with the chrome filler cap - but I am wondering (before I buy one) if they are the same dimensions.  Any help would be appreciated.

yes, same, except the fuel tap is different  Swap complete with fuel tap.

Great - thanks - I thought I'd check before I bought a tank that might not fit!
