 From memory (gawd I'm old) that's a Pacifico universal plastic tank, haven't seen one in decades.

Thanks Larry s.k.  and motovita

Thanks for the replies. Yes, they sold thousands of those in the early '70s, especially in the US. Every now and again, one pops up here in the UK. I'm looking for one to finish a project...

Enjoy your Hodaka, you can make those things fly!

Regards

The last few years Mick Andrews came to our club for our Vintage Fest, he was riding a super nice Hodaka for the trials.

Is that the Ormstown Vintage Fest?   If so, I was there in 2016, invited by Helmut Clasen who was competing in the Cross Country. I was working in Montreal and took a trip out there for the weekend. I met Mick Andrews, but I missed the trials event.
