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. |

New Jaguar XJ to show in July
Wed, 18 Mar 2009The new Jaguar XJ Saloon - Will appear in July It is absolutely true that Jaguar has done a remarkable job of bringing the XJ up to date both under the skin and in the cabin. But it’s now perceived, quite rightly, as a bit of a luxury dinosaur. Where once it was the default choice for British businessmen to fly the flag, the allure of more contemporary contenders like the Mercedes S Class, the Audi A8 and the BMW 7 series have eclipsed its allure.
Welsh rugby star swaps the ruck for a truck
Tue, 13 May 2014WALES international rugby star Scott Williams swapped his studs for driving shoes this week as the 2014 British Truck Racing Championship came to Pembrey Circuit. The Scarlets centre was given professional tuition before taking the wheel of the 1,200bhp 5.5-tonne tractor unit himself – and nearly ending up in the crash barriers. Despite his little off, Scott impressed his tutors and even did well enough to warrant a potential future in racing.
