Could anyone I.D. this gas tank?

It has a vacum petcock. The petcock bolts on instead of screwing on.

I am thinking that is like the one on my 1976 KZ900. I was ass-uming that mine was original to my bike?

1980 KZ1000 LTD-B4(MK II engine) - Progressive suspension, MTC pistons, Dynojet Stage III, all wear items replaced, WFO paint scheme(1978), etc..

Past bikes- 2 1976 Kz900's, 5 1975-76 Honda CB750's, Honda 500 -4, Honda 250, Honda 125, Honda 100, Suzuki RM 250, Honda XL350, Kawasaki KLR 650, etc..

Bolt-on petcocks started on 1978 year model A2's...but the petcocks were gravity feed...so I'm guessing the petcock is newer.

Thanks for the posts. I guess it doesn't matter unless i need another tank.

I like the bigger tanks too. I go about 150 miles before fill up. Roy
