It's black with silver metal flake, and snow flakes on it. It has a few dings, and the bottom edge is flaking, but I was thinking I could do a black border on the bottom.

Dings are just a fact of life.No big deal. I see the snow flakes now. I dig 'em. Yeah, I'd definitely use it if it was mine. The border idea sounds like a good plan

I came across another gas tank the other day. It is off a 71 CB 750 that was customized in the mid 70's. The bike had sat since 79 after it had been in an accident. What do, you think of this one?

I agree, I think I like it better.



Sheesh, you've got parts lying everywhere... a tank from '79? Shit, my middle brother wasn't even born yet!

If you don't like the snowflakes, you could do the fat stripe like half-caf used to have.



My tank also had a few dings

Red from Cycle one was here last Sunday, and helped me to get my sprockets lined up. The sprockets were 3/8 inch off, and I could not figure it out. It turns out that the 75 (CAN) -76 matic engines have have the same difference in the sprockets as the 69-76, and 77-78 manual engines do. I have been comparing with a 77 matic, when I should have been comparing to the original 76 Toolmatic. The engine in MV is a 76. I also figured out that the spacing, for the engine mounts is different between 76-77, and that the frames are different. I can't believe Honda did all this just to switch to a 630 chain in 77.

I know it has been awhile, but I finally have an update. I was at a rummage sale/swap meet the other day and found my rear fender.





I do not know what it is off of and it has been cut down, but it is perfect.
