gas tank compatability

mlr
I have a 1980 Honda 750F I'm making a rat bike with.
The original tank is huge and looks like a watermelon. Does anyone know of a gas tank that has a better shape (like a V65) or whatever that would work on this bike without a huge amount of modifications?
I don't want a surface mount tank as it looks to tall for the bike im doing.

thanks,
Mike

any 80-83 DOHC tank should fit.  Look at the CB750C, that's way closer to the Magna tank.

I haven't physically put it on yet, bit it appears a 900c tank will also fit
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.

I'm in love with CB500T tanks.  I actually purchased THREE extras. It can be made to fit my '79 CB750K with work - a lot of metal needs to be pounded in from the inside.  I've seen these tanks on other bikes as well, and they always look cool. I'm even thinking of putting one on a chopper.
