I went to the swap meet in Lebanon yesterday looking for some odds and ends for my CL 450. Speedo, center stand, shift lever, tank, seat. Di dent find any of that stuff. But there was this little red tank that kept calling my name every time I walked by it. So I stopped and took a look inside wow it was like new inside. So I put it down and went outside looked around some more hoping someone would buy that little red tank. Well I had looked at everything more than twice trying to get my six bucks worth. Started toward the car, then something said you better see if that tank is still there. Well it was and I brought it home. Not sure why, but I really love that little red tank. I'm one sick puppy Ron  |

That tank does have a voice. I like it! Now all you have to do is build a bike under it! :-)

Thanks, Your right about building a motorcycle under it. Back in the early 60s I had a Ducati single cylinder I bought from a service man who sent it home from overseas. I road the wheels off that bike, be for I was old enough to get a drivers license. It had a tank kinda like my little red one, maybe that was the connection. Man I wish I still had that bike. Traded it for a 46 ford sedan flathead with two stromberg 97 carbs. and slip on chrome acorn head nuts. At the time it seemed like the cool thing to do. Ron

That does seem to be a pretty good trade.

Hey Slo looks like that tank could be a match for the NSU motor you just bought.
