Tank choices for my cb350...

[fordmike65]

Hey guys. I've been gone for a while trying to get my old Ford back on the road, and doing side jobs to get the $$ to do it. So, I'm getting back into my cb350 project. First off, I HATE the '72 CB tank. Looks like a wide-ass broad sittin' between my legs. I almost went with a 350F tank, but was sold out from under me. What other cool tanks have you guys found that don't take too much fabbing to fit, and look great? I don't really have other tanks or bikes to test fit, so I'm hoping to find some inspiration here to direct me to my perfect tank. I like tanks a bit narrower than stock,a little higher,squarish with slight knee indentations. Pretty much a cb350f, but there may be others that would work even better. Hell, I'm even thinking about getting a nice early CL350 tank, but have seen so many variances that I'm not sure what year to look for! Thanks in advance guys. Pics would be great!-Mike

You don't by chance have the original tank still do you?

The later round CB350 tank is one of the nicest from Honda. How about an early 350 tank with the knee rubbers? They're just harder to find.

Hey Mike I have a 73CL350 with a late 60's CB350 tank. IMO if I didn't have this tank I would go the Benelli Mojave route. I really like the look of keeping it all Honda all the time.

Yes, I still have the original tank,no rust nor dents. I just don't like the shape. JF, thats one of the early tanks I was thinking about. Nice shape & should fit without issue. I've seen others that are the same basic shape, but no wing emblems. While searching for early CB/CL tanks, I've seen different tanks for the same year/model bike so I'm not sure what the deal is. I'll do a search I post a couple pics of what might work. In case anyone does have an extra older tank,lmk. Thanks!

Mike I had no problems mounting that tank. It slid right into the bushings up front and the strap in the rear. Good luck finding one, if I hear or see one I will pm you. One of these days I"ll have to get down to the bone yard in Decauter.

Hey Mike,

I'm actually going to upload some new pick of a CB400 tank that I'm putting on my bike. I got rid of the top tabs that use to hold on a leather piece and bondoed up the side logo mounts. And with very little fab work its fits just fine. Check it out when you get a chance.

Just checked out your thread. Great looking tank! The CB400 is one of the tanks I've been considering. Nice to see it isn't a PITA to get it fitted. I'll be checking in on your progress. Busy here at work, but I'll post other tank ideas soon...

These are a few tanks I've seen members install on a CB/CL350. Just gotta see which ones need a lot of fabbing up & if I can even find one. LMK if anyone may have one for sale.
