I am building a bobber out of my 79 650 and wanted to keep with the Japanese parts, so instead of getting a HD Sporty tank or something similar, I picked up this old kawasaki tank. Does anyone know what bike it came off of?

Late 60's, A series I think. Maybe 250 cc dual purpose bike

This is similiar

After looking at some old 60's Kaw pics, a lot of them had similiar shaped tanks. The W1 650 did, so it could be from many different models.

I agree with Kent, late 60s. When I look in a book I have, the Kawi logo and pin stripe circle was used in that time on the '70 A1SSA, '69 GA2, '69 G31M and '71 H1A.
