Sorry Mick, that's an F2 tank, F1 fuel line drops vertically, the one on e-bay is a horizontal one, and since F1 and F2 taps are different thread sizes, it can't even be an F1 tank with an F2 tap ??? (Shit I sound a right anorak!)

Yes,it is a bit narrower, although it looks a lot narrower due to the intended illusion of it's slab sides. Visually the F1 and F2 tanks are the same, it's just the F1 tank has a larger fuel tap thread,and the fuel outlet on the tap is vertical, and as an F1 owner I found a tap for the F1 is twice the price of an F2 >:(

How about the lock unit in the top? Is this common to other models?

I seem to remember the lock barrel was the same for a lot of Hondas, CB550 F1/F2, CB750 F1/F2, and I'm sure the CB750 K7 was the same ???

I think if it has the flap the locks are the same. Anyone got one they don't need?

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.

I have two k7 tanks so hopefully they are the same! Just have to see
Are mounting points the same? Horseshoe brackets at the front and the rubber at the back?
