Title: Help Identifying this Tank Please
Post by: tjcin on November 01, 2015, 06:33:38 PM
This tank came with my 3 JackPiner purchase.  The seller told me it was an aluminum Hi-Point tank.  Can you guys please let me know your opinions and what bikes it fits.http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b401/timothyjcart/DSC02742_zpstda4iufj.jpg?1446417112553&1446417112798

you need a picture of the bottom/tunnel of the tank. that will show with certainty if it will fit a hi breather frame, as i suspect that it will. chi jer

it looks to me like it is a tank for a early 175, (1972) pre hi breather frame. it will not fit the later hi breathers,   chi jer

As a newbie CJ, can you please educate as to a "hi breather".  I see the term, but don't know what it is.  Thanks, Tim.

The high breather had a square hollow frame backbone and the airbox intake was through it under the tank. The high breather requires a tank with a slightly wider channel than a non-high breather frame.
