Ok...maybe it's more than just the tank.

Thanks Brian. I will need to familiarize myself with those sites. I did buy the bike. We were able to start it and run it through the gears while in center stand. Gas tank is in surprisingly good shape regarding the interior. It is missing the throttle assembly and throttle cable and will need a new clutch cable. It's also missing the front foot pegs for the pilot and one rear foot peg. Also has a non correct exhaust assembly. Other than that, it seems to be complete save for a few minor things here and there but overall I think it's a very solid example. The bike was originally sold in Temple Texas, and it appears to have been off the road since 1968. I have the title along with all the updated registrations up to that point. The seller bought an old motorcycle shop plus contents and it was packed full of old bikes. The original sellers thought they'd removed all of the non Japanese bikes from the site, but this little Ducati was in a corner covered in parts. Neat story to hear the process of digging it out. This will take a while, I can't wait.
