Hello all,
First post here...
I've been a member for quite some time over on the XS650 site and recently picked up this awesome CB750 tank at a garage sale, just because I couldn't pass it up. As much as I'd like to keep it, I posted it up for sale a few days ago on Craigslist, and I've already got someone interested in it but have a few questions.

Is there an easy way to determine the year between 69'-72... and are they interchangeable? It appears to be a 72' but really, I'm not sure how to confirm it. He's looking for a 71'. Is there a difference in the tunnel width or how they mount up? I suspect he's looking to avoid any fabrication.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
Cheers.

-Don M.

As far as i can find 69 to 70 only used a goldish strip. 71 used black stripe with candy gold paint. 72 used black stripe with smaller silver strip on a flake sunrise orange. I believe you have a 71 tank but it shouldn't have a keyed gas cap lock, should be just a push button lock, maybe someone changed it. Maybe look for a honda stamping number on it.
