Nice looking tank no idea if its any good

Just came across this on eBay. No idea if it's any good or what size it is, but it looks perfect for a cefé bike and the price is nice. Anybody have one of these?

I do and so do a few others. It is a nice shape and perfect size for a sub 250 bike. I started to modify mine to fit a CB160 frame, but it's a PIA to fit any double top tube frame. I also need to change the fuel tap location to let it fit over the two top rails. It works best on a single backbone tube frame. And there are lots of those around.

Would probably work best on a CB175 or CB200 or maybe a GT185 Suzuki or CS3/5 Yamaha. I have seen one stretched over a CX500 with lots of steel work and onto an RD350 with notches cut in the frame, but that's hardly an ideal solution.

I like the shape though and painted red with a pair of Honda racing stripes it sorta looks like a sixties racer - which is what a cafe racer is supposed to look like, isn't it?

You've got that exactly right.

Looks a good bit similar to a RD400 tank. Bit more rounded, though.
