Hi Mark,
That's good news, I am having them laced but no tyres fitted as yet, as still some way off before I start the actual build. As I work in Saudi I will do the final build when I am finished out here. I am still unsure about the tank. Hi James I have sent you a PM about your tank.
JamesH:
No problem Gamma. Got the pm. I'm looking for £600 for the tank + postage. It's never been out of the box (other than an initial visual check on arrival) - happy to pull it off the shelf, unpack & photograph if you or anyone else is seriously interested. James

Hi James, I am now seriously interested, I realise I will have to cut the sump off if I want to retain the original oil tank. I have now seen your original post about this tank from January I think. Can you check out the tank, and confirm that it will slot straight onto the CB750F1 frame and give clearance for clip-ons, which it should. I know that I have to weld or mount an extra cross point at the back for the rear strap. Send me some pics please and we could have deal.

Hi Gamma. That was actually a third tank I had - that first one sold VERY quickly. I have two left which I had plans with for both. Sadly I won't have time to check this against an f1 frame as I don't have one. I do have a K2 that I can test fit it to. You'll need to do your own research regarding clip-on clearance etc as this will be fork/triple tree offset dependant. I'm not looking to make any money out of this (as they are £499+vat and postage from Meadspeed). You're just benefiting from not having to wait for 12 months. Up to you.

Gamma, you wont have to cut the sump off if you turn the original tank through 90 degrees, as I did, my tank doesn't have a sump but I've hidden a lot of my electrics where the sump would have been.
P.S. I drilled through and tapped my steering stops on the triple tree and fitted bolts with lock nuts, that way I can adjust the amount of lock, depends how much you sweep the clipons back as well of course.
