OK guys,

Tonight, I won 4 seperate auctions that were each for an old mini-bike gas tank. None are mint, but I figure they'll give me something to practice doing flames on as small, portable examples of my work that can also be used for displays if I ever get to that point. Or I could just fixum up and ebay them depending on what they are and what they're worth. Both of which I haven't a clue, so here we are.

I know some look rough, but keep in mind that they are each small enough to fit inside my sandblasting cabinet, and I know how to sling bondo with the best of them. I didn't buy them because they are cool. I bought them because I think I can MAKE them cool.

The auction descriptions were vague at best, so if anybody here can help identify what year/make/model these are - I'd be really appreciative.

#1. sold as "Vintage Honda Smaller Mini Bike or 80 Gas Tank" and I paid $12.

#3. Described as "Vintage yellow Motorcycle Gas Tank - Smaller - 80cc? - with Petcock" and I paid $14.

I don't really need/want them ALL, but the dang place is 2+ hours away, so if I'm going - I might as well do some buying and make the trip worth my while....

..... which is why I also bought this brand new in the box, complete set of VDO gauges - for only $50. These will be ebayed soon and cover my gas and food for the trip - and hopefully make the tanks be free.

Anyway, if you can help me identify that junk so that I can better understand the values when deciding which ones to mess with, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

John

Pretty cool! I've still got a 71 Honda CT "Trail 90". Love the old bikes but not much help with what you got, other than to say it looks neat!

I bought and sold a couple 50's over the years, and I know those parts sell pretty good. I just don't know about that oddball one or the kawasaki one. I don't want to strip and bastardize some poor dude's "holy grail" part and cost myself a bunch of money.
