What tank is this?

[Jondo]

Saw this on another site. The frame set-up is the same as mine. Not crazy about the color scheme, but the tank is what caught my eye. Just the right length, width, and profile. Anyone know what it is? Is it stock from some other bike? Modified? I haven't seen anything like it available online. Thanks for any help.

Looks kind of like a Suzuki GS 400 tank. Gas cap has definately been modified. I'm most likely wrong though. it does have great proportions.

tank definitely looks like a suzuki GS of sorts, I think it's from one of the bigger models such as the gs750 or gs850

This is the tank I was thinking of:

Just found this..........looks pretty close, maybe the filler is a little farther back than the one on the bike. I love that tank.

...........................hi guys,,, the thing you have to be careful about suzuki tanks are they are only 0.5mm thickness in material they used ,,, they are notted for getting pin holes along the seams on the side and around the seat be careful... try to get a better tank regards oldbiker

Any photos of your build? I'd like to see how much room that tank takes up on the backbone. Thanks.

This is my build when I first started. I changed my frame to a single down tub,and lengthened the back bone. Not sure how it will work on a stock frame.
