1969 Cb750 Honda Wrinkle Gas Tank Sandcast Cb on 2040-parts.com

Here I have for sale a very hard to find (yes rare) 2nd generation Sandcast wrinkle tank. This tank was fitted to early production Sandcast Honda CB750 motorcycles, immediately following the discontinuation of the19 litre wrinkle tank. This second generation tank is found on bikes from around frame number 600 to Frame 1940. The more common (and not so hard to find) 3rd generation wrinkle tank was fitted on all early bikes from approximately frame number 1940 to around frame 13,000. The two (2) main distinguishing features of the 2nd generation tank is the three clearly seen groups of wrinkles, the additional groupss of wrinkles being found on each side of the tunnel beside the usual top wrinkle group, plus a raised petcock pad (clearly distinguishable in the photos) which allowed the early petcock to be fitted. This early petcock could not be easily fitted to the later wrinkle tank. Research of Honda factory literature supports this tank's date of manufacture as being appropriate for fitting to vins beginning around frame number 600 to as high as around frame 1937 or so. Simply put, where do you think you will find another one, let alone one in as good a condition as this one. My wife isn't in as good condition and you certainly won't find another like her. No sir. I have been an active restorer of vintage and classic motorcycles including many a Honda Sandcast for many, many decades and have only ever seen a few of these tanks come up for sale in the last 10 years, so if you have an early Sandcast and don't have this tank then here is an opportunity to snap up this item to more complete your bike. This tank has no internal rust, the outside being raw steel with primer, does not leak and comes with original badge mounting hardware. There is one dent on the right rear aspect of the tank. My eBay feedback is untarnished so what you're looking at in the photos is what's for sale. email if you have a question. |

Free tyre safety checks during October
Wed, 25 Sep 2013A NOT-FOR-PROFIT tyre safety organisation has produced a website that allows drivers to locate a free tyre ‘health check’ during October. The website, from safety campaigners TyreSafe, will let users enter their home postcode to find the nearest garage to them that is offering to check for any issues like too little tread depth, incorrect pressures and foreign objects like nails or glass. October is set to be Tyre Safety Month, and with the weather turning cold and the nights drawing in – especially when the hour goes back – it’s crucial that drivers make sure their rubber isn’t putting their safety in jeopardy.
