That's such a shame. From the videos they do sound pretty tasty!
Do you have any pictures of the one you got made and details on who made it?

I have looked at the 400f tank, but it has a slightly sharper angle than the CB750f. The CX500 one does look pretty cool, though. I'll have a play around on Photoshop later and see what I think!

This may be of use from when I was playing with ideas for a similar project. Don't laugh guys very rough ideas and scale not really right etc. I was toying with the idea of welding 2 tanks together per a rather tasty black cafe built by a member on here ( think he was Swedish user name DME?).

Hi Rob!
I checked out the Delkevic products, and they look great - a bunch of people on YouTube seem to be using them on their builds and say they quality is very good and the price is even better!
My only qualm with them, and this is purely only based on aesthetics, is the springs. I wonder if I could get away with not using them? If so, do we know what problems that may cause?
Keep me posted on yours and I'll deliberate in the meantime ;)

Offfft! I am really digging that tank on this. This is the CX500, yes?
It definitely gives the bike a very mean look - did you go ahead with the project or is it still in the works?
