I've just worked it out....
You now have red, silver, blue and black....black was the missing colour.
You certainly will need a metallic red one I think.

That one is an NB I think, H. There was 2 Nick and I think 1 was for an NA.

Nick and I chatted offline about those tanks Harold- the Fungo-meister has confirmed that the tank you and I thought might be a black UK NA is actually a NB or NDB- scalloped type. The one with the white border to the decal. The other one with the slightly different border is a Euro 400 colour...

Yes the 'other' one which has an all red stipe with white writing is for a euro CB400NB.
The other is 250NB and NDB.

I'll bow to your superior knowledge Nick it just it looked like a flat sided tank to me as the scalloped sides are not visible in the photo I actually (very briefly) considered buying it and repainting it blue, but then thought better of it.

Yes, never do that Harold. I could never condone that sort of behaviour - someone who takes a rare Honda painted tank and resprays it.....
Sacrilege!!!

It is Nick I agree and the tank would end up being so expensive after buying it and the decals I would be scared to put it on the bike anyway

With the black one you wouldn't of got much change out of 470 notes with delivery......plus the respray costs etc etc? It would be very unrealistic. If you could find a slightly damaged NOS tank, pick it up for 50 notes delivered and have the correct decals waiting in the wings, it is just about do-able and justified I reckon.

Hoping to make some headway with the screen printer in Birmingham on Monday.
But don't hold your breath on this for the time being. Been p*ssed around by various people and had my time wasted so much, I don't want to pin anyone's hopes on it for now.
Sorry to be negative.

Your right Nick and the truth is I do have a tank but its very beat up with a few dents and there looks to have been a poor repair at the bottom corners where they rust. I haven't took any of the paint of yet so don't know what it's like underneath. I think I know where there is a black tank, good condition slightly damaged, I wonder would the fella in question maybe sell it if he decides on a colour change
