81 440 Alternate Gas Tanks

Has anyone found any aftermarket gas tanks that fit on a 440? The one that comes with the bike looks like they were trying to put in knee dents (with a brick).

My problem seems to be that I can find tanks that I can Frankenstein onto the frame but will not meet up with the seat. So I want to buy a new aftermarket tank and have it painted to match.

I want to keep the seat because the previous owner had some nice custom work done to it.

There is no such animal. You either use what the factory provided. modify a tank from another bike or use one of the custom aluminum units that are fabricated by hand.

Thats what I am wondering, is there a Honda or any other brand that would fit. All the kz tanks I can find are in horrible condition

Same answer as above.

Is your bike an Ltd or standard model? From the diagrams at Partzilla, if it's an Ltd, then a 440 Ltd tank is probably the only direct bolt-on. The 440B standard tank is different, as are the 305 CSR & 400B. The 79 400H Ltd tank is similar to the 440 Ltd, so one of those might work if you find a good one.

Thats the problem it's a LTD. I had just wondered if anyone else had found a solution.
