True that, they don't go for cheap anymore. You have to watch out too because there are some differences between a 500D tank and a 78 500C. I believe the D is a little bit longer? I could be wrong but I bought one a while back and it should have fit my bike with the modification I did... but it was too long. Realized it was a 500D later on. Still... was a great tank and sold it for what I bought it for, so I was happy.
Anyone interested in providing a deluxe tank, I have the capability to make molds from it and reproduce them in fiberglass or carbon fiber. I also have a 450 ton press and think there is a market for an aluminum reproduction. I have an 1981 and need a tank and plan to do polished aluminum on it. If you provide a tank I will refinish the outside to prepare for the mold splash. I would need it for about 12 days and return it with shipping paid. The cost of these tanks are only getting higher and none of the after market gas tanks look as good.
