Tie strap - tank
Tank strap for the 4 gallon petrol tank on T140/TR7 models, PN 83-4118.
This is the tank strap listed under 83-4118, the piece that holds the petrol tank down to the frame on the models it fits. It shows up in the catalog under the GAS TANK AND TWINSEAT and PETROL TANK figures, and it's cataloged for the 4 gallon tank as fitted to T140 and TR7 machines - check your own parts book to make sure this is the strap your tank calls for before ordering, since tank straps vary by tank size and mounting style.

A strap like this takes the vibration and load of a full tank sitting on rubber mounts, so it's worth a look if yours has stretched, rusted through, or lost its shape over the years. Worn buckles or perished rubber underneath can let the tank shift around, which is no good for the paint or the mounting tabs.
Our catalog record shows this part appearing across a handful of years in the mid-to-late 1970s range, consistent with the 4 gallon tank fitment noted above. If you're not sure which strap your bike needs, bring in your parts book or give us a call and we'll sort it out with you.
