Are Hawk and Bros Fuel tanks identical?

[Crash]

Title says it all. Are the fuel tanks for the Honda Bros and the Honda Hawk identical? One of you guys in europe will know the answer I am sure.

They are interchangeable, but a little different. Bros tanks have a foam padding glued to the underside (where the airbox is) with four metal guiding tabs protruding from the underside. And venting is a little different in the lid - one rubber piece needs to be removed or modified.

Thank you for the prompt response! I am not concerned about the venting or the lid but a picture of the underside of a Bros tank would help make thing a little clearer. So the outer dimensions are the same Hawk/Bros?

Outer dimensions are the same as well as attachments front and rear.

I do not have a stock Bros tank - I removed the foam and the four tabs (they only guide/hold the foam which provide noise reduction). It was only necessary to remove the tabs and foam as I am fitting a Durbahn airbox and there is some interference.

Got it. That makes things much clearer. Thank you. Let us know what you think of the airbox.

I always keep a BROS tank on my living room just for decoration

Perfect pictures NT400. Those pictures show me exactly what I needed to see and answered my questions. -C

I took the foam off of mine, by the way, as it was starting to dessicate and I was worried it might find it's way into the air filters ....
