Hi, I could use a little help identifying the purple tank in the photos below. The guy I bought my 76 KZ900 from threw the purple tank as part of the deal and said it belonged to a Z1. I was planning on using it instead of the original tank. But it doesn't fit. I'm thinking it may be from a KZ650 or something. I am submitting some photos for inspection. Anyone recognize what kind of bike it belongs to? I'm not even sure if its a Kawasaki tank.

The black tanks is the original on the bike.






As you can see for the picture below, the mounts are way different between the two tanks.

Thanks for the info. Wasn't expecting an answer that fast. Thanks for the offer but I would like to get rid of this one instead. I had it filled with vinegar for 2 weeks in order to clean out the rust. Came out beautiful, but for nothing. Thanks again.
