Master Gas Tank Thread?

This is the tank going on my SR250. Not a pic of the actual tank though. I'm nowhere near said tank right now.

Suzuki GT380, 15l capacity, very wide tunnel for hiding stuff. 20" long, 5.5" tunnel, 8" wide at the seat.
 
here's some of the tanks i'm looking at for my DR650 build... aparently they will all fit the frame:


GS250
SR500
CB650 (pictured)
KAWASAKI KZ400 LTD
Suzuki GT125
80’s xt250/500
Ducati GTV 1970’s/80’s (pictured)

really want to find the ducati tank... on ebay all week!

What year CB750 tank is this. The bike is clearly post-78, but what kind of tank did they use? Doesn't look like the 79-82 style tanks to me.

here is my customized '78 750 tank. I moved the filler hole to the right side so its flat when you put the bike on the kickstand also i like how it looks on mustang tanks. I welded the door shut smoothed everything out including badges and sprayed it. the graphics where all hand painted by my sister.

Harley Sprint tank, not many around, but this one was super clean inside and after stripping I found not one scratch in the fine Italian metal... the tank fits like a glove with few mods to mount, petcock nestles perfectly between the carbs and valve cover... The best part is you can see more of the motor without sacrificing much volume.

I didn't see one of these on here yet... I may have missed it. Gotta love the cb500t tank... I am hopefully picking up another 500t tonight pretty much just for the tank!


 
Despite generally riding BSAs I've always like Yamaha tanks.


My favourite is the white a gold one which I think is from a YB100. The other is from a RD200
