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?!?!?!?!

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.
