Has anyone used a Clarke Racing gas tank on a 76 MC5 250? If so, do they fit ? Thank you

I have an orange one on my 76 mc400 fits well and looks very good and fairly close to the original orange in color. Mike

The big tanks fit perfect. The small ones are a little short. You'll need to bend the front tab or use a little spacer.

Yes as previously stated, they fit very well on MC5's.
I have a brand new one in light green, it's large like GS6, not the MC5 style, petcock but no cap, caps are available, half the price of retail. Can add picture tomorrow if interested.
