in search of 82 cb650 nighthawk fuel tank
I'm looking for a 1982 CB 650 Nighthawk fuel tank, if anyone has any tips links or resources they would be greatly appreciated
Re: in search of 82 cb650 nighthawk fuel tank
Good luck. Getting very hard to find. I got lucky and found one. There used to be a nos on ebay for 400. The 83 looks the same but wont fit without work.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!

Picked one up on ebay today, looked to be in decent condition, well just have to wait till it arrives and see the exact shape it's in
Re: in search of 82 cb650 nighthawk fuel tank
Post pics of it. curious to see what shape its in. I was looking at various tanks the other day and they all looked like rustballs.

Its amazing cb650 how many different tanks u can come across with minor changes to what your searching for on eBay, its kind of a joke, how one search its gone then one different option or term and it pops up.
Not to mention what they think a dented or rusty tank is worth, its nuts. I seen one that had a rotted out bottom they wanted $200 for, what a joke.

It's not the best but definitely not the worst I've seen, plus I only paid 50 bucks. Im sure i can work with it. Now I just gotta find some side covers

Looks rough. Good luck with it. Same thing with the side covers. Hard to find and most have broken tabs.

Yeah, it does look pretty rough, but as long as the inside isn't too bad and it doesn't leak I should be able to fix it up. As for the side covers, I have both of them, but all of the tabs are busted on one, I was just hoping I could find a decent one with tabs, I'll probably just end up rigging it some how, probably just bolt it on.

Got the tank yesterday, but i had to work so i couldn't check it out til today, the cap had no key so ii had to pop it, minimal rust inside, no leaks, pretty good for 50 bucks. spent all day sanding it down to the metal, tried to post a pic, but for some reason its bein screwy
