Hi Steve
I've got the same bike,and don't know alot about it myself.As For the tank,...well thats going to be a tough one,but,I could send you a pic if you wanted for reference.
I do know that the original wiring was for 3 D-cell batteries.I went to radio shack and got a plastic holder for 4 C-Cell batteries,and 2 6v bulbs, this makes the lights nice and bright and the horn quite loud.I used the c-cells due to the fact that the rear lights are the same,and I now only need one type of battery charger.(plus a 4 c-cell holder fits nicely in the tank.)
If you know what year this bike,or if you have found out any info on the bike I would appreciate the feedback.
Nick D
