Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] tank swap resources?

[ChrisV]

I ended up using vinegar and then RedKoting the tank.  A ton of work but 
the tank is useable again.  Bike is running.  Vinegar by the gallon is 
pretty cheap and not as quick acting (a little more forgiving) than muratic 
acid, I think.  It worked great but I don't ever want to have to do it 
again.  Haha.

I have used Muratic acid on a couple of tanks. You have to be quick to
neutralize the acid that you haven't washed out of the tank. I've got
better results, at least safer results with a pressure washer. It takes
patience and a little enginuity. Then I lined the tanks. I'm riding a 700S
with one of those tanks on it. Graham

You can also get pinholes that way. I've got a tank  in the garage 
(different bike) that looks great but won't hold gas. Be careful.

3 used tanks for 700s on ebay

The styling on the 700 tank is pretty unique to the bike, anything else 
wouldn't look right. That said, I don't know of any other models that would 
physically fit.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] tank swap resources?

[Kyle Munz]

True. If you had asked this question a couple of months ago when I had both
my 650 and 700 apart I could have tried to see if it would fit. I've got
the 650 up for sale and ppl looking at it right now so I can't really take
it apart. The petcock is in a different location but otherwise they're
similar, I'm not sure about the length and tunnel width though, but with
enough hammering... maybe? I don't know if those are any easier to find
than 700 tanks though.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] tank swap resources?

[ChrisV]

I'm not worried about aesthetics.  I'm looking for a tank that I can bolt 
on so the bike will run.  It's going to take a while to restore the factory 
tank and, since they are almost impossible to find, I need to do this one 
slowly and right.  Having a spare in the meantime would be nice.

The choice between a bike that looks right sitting in the garage and one 
that's on the road is an easy one.
