Which tank do you all prefer?


One is the stock CB450 tank (1974). The other is from a CB350 year currently unknown, but matches up well.

For me, it's tough to say without having them on the bike.

That is so true. Once I get the frame all welded up I will re-take the photos with both on and re-post.

Your right, it does. I have never noticed that before. The smaller is a cl450 tank, I wonder if the dimensions and mounts are the same as your cb500. More research to do...

Nope, I'm going with the small one. The large one has some dents, scratches, and discoloration in certain areas.
