The very rare 1981 KTM LC 125 tank These are much smaller and look sooo much better on the bike. They retro fit most late 70's early 80's models as well.There a one off fiberglass model.  I've been looking for one for about 5 years so I'm happy, another piece of the puzzle to build my open class evo bike.

I believe this is the tank you are after. The one you show is for the water cooled bike and has a large opening at the front

Mine was plastic Mick and the wings came out further BUT that one looks the goods .
Must have been one for the non plastic market.
Lucky find that.
