First off welcome!  Yes, your bike needs an oil tank. Some guys change the location when they cafe 'em.

Good Luck.

Yeah I agree, I would bolt a tank back on other wise your first ride will be pretty expensive.

cyclex sell some flanges to run the oilline up under your rear seat cowl if you look around at the inspiration gallery or some of the BOTM's you will see some bikes that have a hidden oil tank

You have to be careful of advice you get on other forums.  Many don't know the subtle differences, or requirements, of the SOHC like they do here.  DOHC, no oil tank.  SOHC, oil tank required.  Welcome.

+1  The SOHC 750 is a dry sump design, no oil tank, no oil.
