Does this tie in with your OEM tank please? (sorry, bike in a lock-up 40 miles away - ie no pics)
Cheers,

(On the subject what defines the OEM Sidepanels? I'm guessing mine not OEM, as appear to be light polycarbonate mouldings.) Originals made from....?

Some pictures for you. I think the answer is yes - see what you think. Also one of my side panels. As Oddjob says the side panels are the same colour all the way through. Number on the inside. The flange the rubber fits over on the tank has some digits on it

Lobo:
Cheers Tom, fantastic - thanks for your help. It appears the tank may be original which is great. Just gotta swap it to your Parakeet yellow & perhaps source some OEM side panels as mine really are crappy.
Thanks again,
Lobo

Bryanj:
Yup i would say rarely, fitted lots of new tanks to accident bikes in the 70's and always remember having to get new pins for the cap and catch

sweetpeauk:
I have NOS yellow tank still in the box, no sticker but has cap and lock.

tom400f:
I have no reason to suspect my tank is not the one that came on the bike. Has no sticker.
