CB175 Tank

[BCBarker]

Bought to cut up for a seat cowl, but this is nicer than I thought. It had a few small pin holes, so I took i to a friend who is a certified welder and a master collision repair technician. He cut out a large area around the pin hole, (instead of just tach welding it) then welded in sheet metal to the body lines, and finished it with a smooth coat of filer.

It has been stripped of all paint to make sure there is no other rust. I have stripped and cleaned and sealed the inside (there was very little rust, but enough to warrant a clean and seal). The tank has been primed as is ready for paint.

Make me a fair offer.

Here is the pin holes that were cut out. My friend said that the rust usually is bad below the pinhole because if gravity and shit.... so he cut out a large amout under the holes.

Let me know if anyone is interested. Not looking to make a fortune, but I'd like to get a fair price for it.

 

[BCBarker]

So i've been looking on the bay to guestimate pricing. I'm thinking $60 shipped. Any takers?

gas cap with it?

 

[BCBarker]

No cap, no Petcock. But it does come with a used cardboard box and a lot of packing material!

will it fit a cb350? My tank is pretty much shot.

 

[BCBarker]

I'll test fit it on my 350 today and upload a pic. I thought it was a 350 tank at first.

 

[BCBarker]

So I think this tank could be made to work on a 350 and look good, but it's not a natural fit. The front tank mounts for a CB175 are backwards on the tank. I tried to take a pic of this. The tunnel is narrower too, but it only effects the tank at the end. You could either hammer it larger, or mount it a little taller.
