That's a 550 tank Drew.

Here's a 400/4 tank (for comparison)

2022 Tiger Sport 660
1971 CB500K0

Might have a use for that, how wide is the channel down the centre, and how long is the tank overall (roughly)

Looks like a 550/k3 tank to me, I have a spare that's pinholed and didn't seal with petseal that could be used as a paint targett. Would seem a bit of a waste if the results came out well though, on a cruddy tank.....
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

That's just the sort of thing that would happen to me, test piece comes out beautiful and you can never replicate it on the real thing...   :(

Cheers Steve D for pointing that out.

Hey Phil. It is 4" tween rubber mount bits and about 21" long, if that helps.

If that's the original paint I think it's an F1 tank. The F2 had stripes on similar to the 400 F2 tank shown above.

Not sure about fittings on the 750.

Worth a chance?

I'm interested so long as it doesn't leak!!

Do you still have the tank & if so, can I have it for my Parts Bin Special?  as I don't have a tank at all at present.


Cheers!

Sorry Drew, I should have mentioned that I bagged a very nice tank on ebay a couple of weeks ago, so not looking at this one now,
