K series tanks similarities

(1/3) > >>

Rozabikes Tim:
Can anyone tell me if the basic shape of any K series tank shapes are the same. I appreciate decals etc will vary. Thinking specifically of K2 and K5 models but interested in general interchangability.

Any advise much appreciated.

PS can hold my head high on the site now as I actually now have a sohc Honda. Bought the 750F2 advertised on this site in Feb. It is now sitting gathering dust while I plot cafe racer and find the time!

I think that after the initial 'wrinkle' Sandcast /  early K0  tanks, the shape was the same until the K7 (which is vastly different) but at some point the petrol tap (petcock) changed sides.

Rozabikes Tim:
Thanks. The reason I ask is I want to build an stretched tank by welding the rear half of one tank onto another complete one. Interchangeability between models will ease the search! Looking at various other donor bike tank styles such as 500T or even a CX500 as shape is quite retro.

SteveD CB500K0:
"DME" built one like that.



There's a build thread as well somewhere on there...

Rozabikes Tim:
Yep, love the standard "ish" biased look.
