« on: April 17, 2012, 09:51:12 AM »
Anyone know if you swap another Honda tank too the cb750 frame? Say a cb900? Or any other tank for that matter

Guess it might depend on how much work you are prepared to do. I notice Robbo has fitted a 400/4 tank according to his recent post.

Well I've seen some tanks off of other Hondas which I like. I don't mind any fabrication work. How about a 750 kz tank? To me it looks similar to the k7 but not as fat

I can post some photos of the type of tank I'm looking for. I just want something narrower with a more classic style really. I have a k7 and the tank just looks too big

First tank is a F1/F2 tank and the second one is a K series tank but not K7 tank ,have you seen the tanks on Carpys bikes in the states ?

don't know if you like that sort of a look?, cheers Mick.

I've seen one recently wearing a CB900 tank.

I like the look of using the standard tanks but swapping them so the bike has a different look

I found this too

How hard would a normal k tank or f1 f2 tank be to acquire? And what kid of price would I be looking at?

Normal K series tanks are certainly easier to find than F1/F2 tanks. Price will often vary wildly according to condition, repainted ones with small dents can be got relatively cheaply, but undented with good original paint can cost more than most of us paid for our bikes! :o
