Hey fellas, I'm will soon be a proud new owner of a 1980 CB750.

The bike comes with a cafe racer style tank, but I'm looking to change that up. I love the look of the older SOHC CB750 style tanks. I read that the earlier '75-76 model tanks may fit. Can someone confirm this. Will a 1978 CB750K tank fit?

I know that they will probably not be perfectly compatible, but is there a relatively easy way to make it work? I have scoured the internet for hours looking for the answer with no luck.

As an aside, I also plan to change the seat.

Thanks!

UPDATE:

I actually got in touch with a builder who said the only way to do it is to cut and re-weld the bottom of the tank to make it wide enough.

Now I need to find someone I trust enough to do that and to see if its even worth it.
