I think this is the correct tank for your bike!

Not quite , that one is 2 tone blue mine would be blue and white. I did see that one and figured it would end up out of my price range. I know @Hoagie57 has a pricey one, I think he has Rockefeller blood hahahah Thanks for the heads up @KevinBrick

Mine is tu-tone blue as well. I think that other may be a repaint? Decent original paint tanks are pricey

Yes springer is gone. I have not seen too many blue used ones.

I have a $200.00 "Rockefeller" priced one , match's your bike like it was made for it

I was playing around with some spray paint and a cheap tank I have, I'm going to knock back what I have and most likely try again. The paint was close but a bit to dark for this specific bike. I also added a temporary delta light while I work on a correct rocket ray , I like the look of a light on this bike and it covers up some of the worst of the fender. Either way it is a nice riding bike. I like it, I like it a lot.

I started off working on a couple of ballon bikes then one day I happened across a 69 Typhoon. Loved the way it rode and have been concentrating on riding and restoring the middleweights since. Two balloon Schwinns in the herd and about 12 middleweights now.
