You don't see them coming up very often on ebay so I guess they must be rare!

Try a Japanese breaker:

On the link page you'll find 5 petrol tanks, if not browse some of the other pages. Yen is expensive atm though.

Mansie, they're CB400SF tanks rather than CB1-400.

I changed the search parameters and there's one here:

and a bunch of other stuff on pages 1 and 2.

Yeah you're right, sorry.
The I love motor tank that does come up for the CB-1 400 has a dent in it and it looks like a costly repair. You can always email them for information on possible other items not on the web.
Here's one in New Zealand: http://www.gphonda.co.nz/cart.php?targe ... ory_id=259
There is also some network of British breakers, you just have to tell them what you want and they search the inventory of all breakers for you.
Cheers, Mansie

I get tanks from Japan now and again, they go cheap enough, (although you'll be lucky to find one without any dents whatsoever), trouble is post is a bit prohibitive mind :cry: Whereabouts are you? Your profile doesn't say.
