If one isn't NOS, i reckon its the second one of Henks' from Holland. He does some shady things and i don't trust him. Looks like the filler was taped up before painting. Is that what you're thinking?

Correct, they are not. The mid-70s alloy Husky CR tanks are the sexiest ever. ;D

I've had good dealings with Henk, but I think the masking tape is a dead giveaway, especially once you see the other tank.  :(

The 74 Ossa Phantom tanks always bring the wood out.  ;D

I agree with everybody, both the standard '79 Honda tank and the RC version are beautiful as is the OSSA Phantom tank. I'm sure another favourite is the Yamaha YZ C/X 125 tank as used on the HL Yamaha. Just to throw an odd one into the mix, I reckon the Wassell trials tank is a little beauty. It seems to look at home on anything from a Hodaka trials bike to Marsh's Harley. I'm using one on my current Hindall Ducati 350 project.
