Gas tank replacement ???

Post by Dmerc »

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 might try Louis at www.usedcbxparts.com.

He normally has a few good replacements in stock.

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.

Another person to check with is Tevan.
He MIGHT have what you need.
