There is '73 TX500 being parted here locally. It has a very nice gas tank. Is there any chance I could get it to fit my project RD350?

The fork lowers and front hub are desirable for a dual disc front end. If you are so inclined

Thanks for the info.

If you're still curious about dimensions this TX500 tank has been listed for a while and shows some approx measurements.
