honda cb tank sizes?

[dstrax]

hey guys, Im thinking of getting a honda tank for my xs650 project. and Im wondering about how it would fit.
Im guessing some modifications to the underside.

but do any of you know how big the 350 tank is?
and Im guessing the next one up is the 500-550?
Ive seen a 750 IRL, and i think that tank migh be to big but im not sure of the measurements on it

What do you mean by "big"? If you're juat talking overall size, they generally get larger as the engine size increases, yes.

Most CB tanks will fit on an XS frame. You'll have to make your own mounts or modify the existing ones to get it to stay there though.

IIRC though, you'll have petcock clearance issues with the Honda tanks as well. The XS motor is a bit taller in the frame in comparison to the CBs.

Im thinking about how it would look. But I might be wrong

any chance you know how long the tank is? My main concern is if it would look to small. The xs tank is pretty long.
I already have some clearance issues with the petcocks and my carbs, so thats something Ill have to figure out anyways
