Custom CB750 Oil Tank

[surffly]

Looking for a custom oil tank for a CB750
I would like something smooth but the angled chopper types from back in the day will work too.
Would like something that mounts to the stock frame

 

[Really?]

Good luck on that one! You will mostly find the round oil tanks. The nice hidden ones that help clear the triangle are usually one off's that someone has had made and provided specs for.

Read somewhere of one made by Benji that leaked really bad. According to what I read in that same thread, Benji did try to make up for it.

Not looking for an open triangle or a home built tank
In the 70-80s a few company made a ton of tanks for choppers that mounted to the stock frames. They have a cool old school look and were built right

 

[Really?]

Don't know if you have seen these and do not know how bolt-up they are. You may have to figure out the mounting part.

Looking for the same thing right now. Did you se the "oil tnk as rear fender" mounted to the bottom of the fame by BrooklynMoto at Works last year? Was really classy

yup I saw that bike, the oil lines were to small, but it was addressed latter.

Looking forward to that show this year. so cool stuff in the works
Was just at works the other night for that guzzi speaker

How does that mount?
Old or newish?

That is simple and easy
Im doing a 750 tracker and wanted an interesting tank

I have something similar. Its shaped like a cylinder, made from SS, it was used at my work for a prototype for a refrigerate.

Ill post pics tonight.

Got any pictures o this build yet? I was also planning a tracker inspired build. I thought it would be an interesting way of Countering the generally squat look of the 750. It's gonna be hard to give it some height with me being all of 5'6 though.

10 1/2 long 4in OD

Might as well chop a fire extinguisher and use that

Yeah I know they made alot of them, just seems like there are none out on the interwebs though.
Im asking around on the chopper board and trying to contact some of the older guys in the area that might have one sitting under a bench some place
