I don't want to add any more hi-jacking to the new member thread.
Should an nos tank come with the molding and clip already installed or would they have to be purchased separately.
numbers 14 and 15. https://www.ronayers.com/oemparts/a/hon ... /fuel-tank

Don't think the NOS replacement tanks had them, or the helmet sticker.

The Honda parts list does not show them included.

Thanks, Gents.
I have a black, '80, nos tank with no bumpers and the misplaced stripes.

Did you by chance buy it from Ed Perkins a few years ago? He had it on ebay, and it's the tank I saw being unpackaged.

Rick: The tank that Ed Perkins had on ebay, which sparked a discussion about this here, was red. I still have pictures of it.

Would that guy up there be James Elliott?

I suspect he may have had his hands on this body work at one point as there is a HullyGully label on one of the boxes but i did not purchase it from him.

Oops. Your memory is better than mine. Ed had both black and red for that bike. I thought he sold the bike with the red on it, but apparently, the reverse was true.
