The catalog entries for this part run from 1963 to 1964, so that's the window we can confirm from our own records. If you're trying to match this up to a specific model, give us a call and we'll go through it with you before you order, since the parts book doesn't spell out which machine it was fitted to beyond that time span.
An oil tank like this one takes some abuse over the decades - dents, rust-through at the seams, stripped fittings - so it's worth a close look at the one currently on your bike before assuming it needs replacing outright.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
