    Looks like it may be from that Honda it's sitting on. Looks like a CB400. The tank from a Yamaha XS750 looks similar and would be easier to fit (maybe)

    Damn. Matti is a guy who likes quad exhausts. Isn't there a super rare 4 exhaust setup for XJ400s? Why always the small bikes with the 4 pipes!?!

    Almost looks like a CB200 tank, minus the naugahyde stripe down the back.

    Does look like oem honda tank cap from cb750/cx500 black stipe along bottom gives it a diff look.
    Appears to have the large cap with flip latch lock .

    Well, regarding Honda's, I can certainly say that it IS NOT a cb400 hawk tank, which has the gas cap covered by a piece of folding metal. Sorry I can't help otherwise.

    Not an early 78-79 with metal lid but could be 80-82 cb400-450 hawk tank was similar to 750-900-1100F tank

    Yep. The CB400 was around for a long time, and in several states of trim.
