HELP!! Straight bar tank without horn?

[randanlow]

I have a straight bar tank with no horn? Can’t seem to find anything about it as to when it was made and what model. About 21.5” long

Possibly for a flying star? 61 only.

I have a straight bar that the bars continue down the seat stay. I’m assuming that’s why this would not fit?

Would that mean it would only fit that frame?

Is your bike a schwinn? ... I can’t remember the name, Tornado? Sounds like the bike you have... no tanks came on those and as far as I know none will fit it... different straight bar animal... tank is flying star like island schwinn said... towards the end of tank equipped bikes for schwinn..

My wife has a 59 Tornado I think that tank may fit? According to the catalogue the tank should have a horn though.

'58-mid '61 Tornados, Skippers, and Flying Stars had the separate twin straight bars, and the deluxe versions had tanks, The mid '61 redesign has the bars continuing past the seat tube, and is usually attributed to the one year only '62 straight bar Typhoon.
