What Tank is this?

[scrubs]

Saw this tank on an old Tribsa. What was it originally from ?- or is it an original custom design?

Thinking about trying to adapt something like this to fit my 74 CB750

I'm guessing it's some kind of triumph..

At first glance, I thought it was an original BSA tank, but now that I've had some time to think about it, I think that is a Rickman tank, or possibly a tank from a Manx Norton.

Check out these pages for photos of similar tanks:

Not-too-well educated guesses, I'm afraid; never actually owned any Brit iron, so I can't be positive about identifying the tank.

Hope others can help you pin it down... Lastly, I'm pretty sure it ISN'T a stock Triumph tank.

Good luck; let us know if you ever make a positive ID for it.
