I'm trying to find another tank for my bike as the one I have has what looks like from the inside what could be a rust spot about to break through
Let me know if you have one that's preferably clean inside
I know it's a long shot but what the hell you never know what's out there
Fortunately there are lots of tanks out there for specials, if you don’t get a response from the forum be sure to check EBay , I see them all the time there. Good luck, you might even find one that’s the right color.

80 up had only one fuel petcock. I believe you may want to keep that in mind.
I do prefer both the shape and added fuel capacity of a Standard model fuel tank. A 77 Standard tank you may be aware had no tank badges but decals instead. I consider a 77 Standard tank to be a very good choice.
Manual petcocks (2). Easy to paint or use as is.
Good luck in your search.

Here's a couple crappy shots of the inside. Sun wasn't playing nice. The rust is not deep. but there is way more than I thought there was. It is a solid tank. Outside is very nice. I will take more shots of eveything if interested.
