WTB: Fuel Tank for 1986 Honda Interceptor VF500 V-Four

I know perhaps this a long shot, but I recently picked up a "barn find" and it needs a usable fuel tank. The one on the bike is badly corroded and unusable. Let me know what you have.

 

Just how unusable?
If its all there as in just rusted im pretty good at saving them.

That's a great price for what appears to be a very nice tank. It's for the 700/750 so not sure it will fit.

 

500 tank is different

 

Ahh,sorry I tried though as soon as I saw the ad I remembered the OP's post. I thought maybe it would have been close enough to work. Sorry Blue

 

No worries mate...thanks for keeping an eye out!

 

I'm going to be checking out an 86 VF500 this week. If the engine is blown I'll see if its worth parting out.

 

Keep me posted!

 

I don't have a gas tank, but I have these. Let me know if any of you all need them, they have been sitting around collecting dust since the 80's

 

I have an 85 Vf500F that blew a rod. I'll let almost all of it go. I also have a set of Yoshimura Stage 1 camshafts, new in box. and Yoshimura slip on's. I'll send you PM Blue.

 

The tank may be savable, had a crew in Cali recover an FZR tank for me, did a beautiful job on it.

 

86 Parts bike didn't really check out. I think the guy put some sort of cleaner in the tank and left it for years. We couldn't get the cap open to take a look inside. The bike was a bit of a mess, but I did do a compression check on the engine and that checked out. So it was a good engine, frame, and wheels, plus a rashed Lockhart fairing.

 

I have got a couple of those tanks, but condition unknown. Will dig them out of storage this week, let me know if you are still looking...

 

Yes still looking. Let me know what you have. Thanks!
