CX500 and GS450 Tank Dims

[HiroProtagonist]

Hey!

I'm trying desperately to find a euro-style tank for a CB350, and fell in love with the CX500 and GS450/GS400. HOWEVER, I can't find the dimensions anywhere.

For the GS450 I'm thinking a tank like this:

The CX500 tank I was thinking of is this:

Thanks for the time!

I can't give you actual numbers, but having seen these tanks in person I can say that they're substantially wider than a 350 tank. The 350 motor is actually pretty narrow next to a lot of twins.

i can drop a cx tank on my 350 in the morning as long as i dont have to take my seat off

Freaking heroic. I'm so close to buying a cx tank, but I'd love to double check first

 

[cxman]

going to look monstrous on a 350 and you would have to widen the front mounts on the chassis

i will get a tank down in a bit (after a latte or 2 ) and take a pic

 

[cxman]

well i had to take the seat off lol

the tank is almost over the whole battery

That actually looks pretty good to me! What's the width?

That actually looks alright, talk about increase in range, kind of a euro endurance race look, with the right seat might be neat.

 

[cxman]

tell me what measurements you want and i will do them in the morning

That looks pretty cool actually! Murray you and I need to meet for a latte haha

 

[cxman]

i start my day with 2 double shot lattes

i have a machine right here at home

So that's how you manage to get up so early I would probably need 4 to function right.

 

[cxman]

hmm i dont know if you can put the word "right" and 4 double shot lattes in the same sentence

Hey!

Sorry for the late reply. My ideal dimensions are:

13" at the widest point
22" long
9" tall

Tunnel dimensions are close enough to the CB350 that I can make it work!

I'm stoked. Found a completely beat up one for an affordable price. Only 1 ding. Probably my best bet at this point, and just figure out how to repair the ding - it's less than 1/16" deep.

Thanks again, everybody, for your help. You guys are amazing and I'm stoked for this project!
