I'm building a cafe inspired street bike out of an old Honda CB750. Got most of it sorted out but still playing with the tank.

I've got a lead on an a bunch of old alloy norton tanks needing some repair, including a 3 gallon manx style tank, a manx lyta short track tank, and a 4 1/2 gallon classic norton tank. I've only seen pictures, and have no dimension references.

Anyone willing to wager a guess which would fit best over a CB750 frame? Anyone have rough dimensions, or a page where I can check them out? Anyone ever done something similar?

Thanks in advance,

Vin

As for the Norton tanks I dunno BUT, I do have a bigger 750(?well it fits..) tank that I got with the intention welding some knee cutouts and leaving a random-orbit/ clear coat finish. Its the right shape for a manx style setup... if your interested I'll send some pics. $20 + shipping and its yours. Hollah back.

Personally I would'nt even f*ck with chroming it... pain in the ass.

What I do have is a big-ass-definitly-not -stock tank that fits and MAY look alright with knee cut-outs. AND you wont have to worry if you ruin it. I'll forward you a pic when I can.

(Anyone know how to attach a pic on here??)

Did'nt get the email... but,
If you're in the area you can HAVE the tank.
As for the parts.... don't think so but I'll check. Got someone looking at the bike saturday so I'll be around most of the day.
Try the yahoo add. again and we'll figure it out.
