Gas tank replacement ???
Before I spend a bunch of time and money trying to seal up a leaking gas tank, l thought I'd ask if there is such a thing as a replacement tank for my 81 CBX ? Is there a similar tank from another bike that could be adapted ?? Any other options such as a fiberglass tank? Thanks for any leads. Dave

You could probably "adapt" a fuel tank from a 1979/80 CBX and the 82 tank will fit perfectly. Anything else will be a tall order, due to the wide frame section of the CBX.
Stay away from fiberglass tanks. They do not work well with ethanol gas.
81 tanks are available, due to the fact that many "school bikes" were parted out.
