86 or 87 model Honda 200x fuel tank

[Graveyard]

Hi,
I'm currently restoring an 86' Honda 200x. I'm looking for a fuel tank in "mint" condition. That's a tall order but somebody may have one.

Thanks,

not right now, but there is zero rust inside, little out side, all groments, no petcock, no gas cap, had white paint, no decals.

i have a good condition 85 tank if it is the same i will sell it to you and get some pics. there is no rust inside or out i think there is a very small dent on the top right side but thats it. smaller then a dime.

I forgot to put that I also modded a plastic 85 200x tank to work on my 86,its easier than you think and no more hassles with metal ones.

Hell ,I work at a Machine shop, maybe I'll look into the plastic one
Thanks anyway

I'll post a pic of it tommorrow, I had to grind the cable holders off the frame, bend out the 83-85 metal mount on the tank and I used a 4" octagon blank(electrical drilled 4 holes to mount it the the tank mount and the two holes where the screw go in the blank(where its supposed to screw into the box) fits perfectly to the frame holes. I'm sure at a metal shop you cold make something far better and then maybe sell it to people, you'd be suprised how many people have a 86/87 200x that the only reason its not a rider is the gas tank, just like the tecates and stators/flywheels.
