Depends on what you mean by 'fit' and what you want aesthetically. CB250/CB350. And CB400f tanks are a similar size / mounting style....

Thanks G-Man, I am thinking about easy options when converting my Hawk to a Café Bike. I be doing some research on your suggestions...I thought the tank I had looked like it might be off a 400..This was a longtime ago and I didn't do the tank.....it was on the bike when I bought it...Bike had a 5 speed tranny also, had a different cam and pistons, was really, really fast. Got married again and the new bride was scared of motorcycles so I sold my Hawks, this was 1978..She has since turned the corner and rides on my Harley Sportster and understands the Café thing and endorses it even...Spad
